Thank you BDiane , i have no intention to make any pattern from thise books . What i have in mind is to learn from other makers, how to work my texts in a more visible method... thus i look at those books , take colored pencils or colored threads and , make little excercises on a big white sheet of paper ,,,,
In on of my latest works i embroidered text on a green background, part was in black, loked great , part in blue looked great , part in pink [ it is almost ok , but gets tottaly lost in photographs .Which is always problematic , but esp in this work, as a certain place asked for a Photo /copy of it. On a woven [ all black wool background] there are 2 texts , a Hebrew one woven into the black background, and a German one embroidered with Xst over the Hebrew one in red and Yellow.. this one worked wonderful .after i researched [ by pencil and threads ] how each color is effected by the way you work it. mirjam
