Bead embroidery technique: semi-cross stitches, monastery stitches

This beautiful small heart is easy to make, 

lot of my customers got this present from me some time ago. 

Do you already embroider it? No? Let's start! 

Here is step-by-step illustrated master-class how to embroider this small beauty :)

Feed threat to needle using thread feeder. 

Do not hold thread feeder like this:

This is right way to hold thread feeder:

Tie usual knot on the end of a thread. Use short thread for one operation, around 40 cm (15") to avoid thread twisting.

Pick one bead by needle and start from corresponding mark on canvas.

You may use a thread of one color for multicolored beads, it's not necessary to use a thread colored same as beads. 

I'm using red thread because the main color of this picture is red. 

This is semi-cross stitch chart.

Very soon you will get the surface like this:

This is how the back of canvas looks like. You will have a lot of knots :)

Actually you may start to embroider from any convenient place at canvas. You may start here, then stop and start there. Just keep beads angle, they all should look at the same direction.

 If some bead has been sewn wrong you may easily crack it and replace.

 We are finished embroidery. Now frame the canvas and enjoy!

Just try, you can easily learn this beautiful art. Don't think just genius can make this, everyone can learn it like they could :)

Art craft show Handmade-Expo, Kiev-2012

I decided to visit annual Handmade-Expo 2012 in Kiev. It wasn't bad idea :) I was thrilled by great variety of manufacturers of beading embroidery which is very popular in Ukraine today. There were a lot of exhibition rooms with sparkling finished pieces of real art. I felt myself obliged to take couple videos to show them to you. This first video is about my favorite manufacturer at the moment. Their beaded embroidery kits are of high quality printed fabric canvas with great color selection of beads. Traditional cross stitch sewing technique is familiar to many craftsters so it's really easy and fun to bead these canvas to get amazing results you may see at the video.

Believe me, you will get really great, unique and inimitable wall decor picture for acceptable price!



Next manufacturer is new to me but I fell in love with them immediately :) Their beaded embroidery mainly beaded in round using I guess feather stitch. They are notable by whole surface beading which creates truly magnetic look. They also have partial embroidery canvas. Take a look at this beading magic!

Another notable manufacturer known for its unusual canvas – real painting canvas completely imitating painting art. You can even lacquer finished beaded embroidery!

 

Another one representative of beading kits manufacturer from Ukraine. As usual fine quality on satin canvas and inimitable look. Enjoy!

Flowers in beadpoint art

Source: about.com



The universal language of flowers crosses any cultural boundaries, interpretations or meanings. The feng shui use of the flowers symbol is based on the same universal feeling that flowers evoke in all humans - a feeling of beauty, grace, and a delicate, alive sensuality.

Alive flowers are sure the best choice for your home, as they bring a strong healing energy; but images of flowers or high quality silk flowers are often used in feng shui, too.

Peony. One of the most sensual flowers with a delicious scent, the peony has long been used in feng shui as a cure for love & romance. This especially applies to a couple of pink peonies. The symbol of peony is often considered a metaphor for female beauty. Some feng shui masters do not recommend having the image of a flowering peony in an older couple's bedroom in order to prevent affairs with younger women.
