Talking about techniques... |
A quick primer on threadpainting from Helen in the UK: The idea is that you use 3 strands to be able to change colours gradually creating a shaded effect. Start off with AAA for a few rows, drop A and use B so you have AAB for a few rows. Then drop A and start B so you have ABB for a few rows. Drop A and start B so you have BBB for a few rows. In each instance you the thread you have dropped you cut off and weave in. This creates a shaded effect rather than an abrupt colour change. Hope this helps :) Hwyl, Helen helen.free@ntlworld.com Photo Album - http://communities.msn.co.uk/RainbowValleyPhotos Crochet UK - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crochetuk Angels For Hope - http://www.angelfire.com/art/mrsclaws/hope.html |
