Choosing a Color Scheme for Needlepoint Tapestry
My name is Francie DeMun. I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village. I am a tapestry artist. Another thing that I do is get a lot of my inspiration from nature. When I take walks and people say oh, aren’t the trees pretty I can look at trees and see 20 colors in the leaves or I look at water and see it a certain way and then I come back to my tapestries and you can see that nothing is just one color. That gives the thing texture so there are different things that give it texture. The colors but also the positioning of the stitches. I have stitches going vertically, horizontally, diagonally. I have them worked on top of each other. I have teeny little stitches like the owl; these are tiny little stitches and then water strokes to give the feel of movement. So there is an awful lot of play that you can do within one piece. As I say this one has a lot. There are quiet places and where the rabbit is running you can see the grasses are kind of pulsing and I guess that is the overview.
