  • Advanced Silk Shading
    ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK 2019-2020 ACADEMIC YEAR DIPLOMA ADVANCED SILK SHADING Traditionally worked with silk thread on silk or linen fabric, but now more usually worked in stranded cotton thread. Silk is still the most usual background fabric but a variety of other fabrics may be used. For Advanced Silk Shading you may work EITHER an animal, bird, fish or reptile; OR a tapestry shaded human figure. SILK SHADED ANIMAL OR BIRD AIM – To demonstrate an advanced level of technical skill by working a realistic and naturally shaded embroidery of an animal, fish, reptile or bird using Long and Short Stitch with one strand of stranded cotton (or fine silk thread). To utilise shading and stitch direction to accurately depict musculature, fur, scales and clearly defined feathers as appropriate. Please note: All preparatory work (e.g. outlines, drawings, stitch plans, original source material) MUST be handed in for assessment or the work will not be marked. DESIGN Try to come with some ideas for a design and bring along some photographs. The photograph must be printed a similar size to the embroidery size otherwise it is very difficult to work. It is essential to work from a crisp, clear, well-focused photograph where you can see the individual colours and changes from dark to light. Illustrations can sometimes be harder to follow, and you should be wary of images from the Internet, which are often poor quality and may not print sufficiently well. However there are many places online from which you can purchase high quality images. The tutor will be able to make suggestions and help you bring your ideas together.

  • Maryland State Tartan What Is Tartan?
    Maryland State Tartan What is tartan? What most people in America call "plaid" or a "plaid pattern" is more properly called a tartan. According to the Scottish Register of Tartans 'A tartan is a design which is capable of being woven consisting of two or more alternating coloured stripes which combine vertically and horizontally to form a repeated chequered pattern.' The basis of any tartan is a simple two-colour check to which the designer adds over-checks, bands and stripes in contrasting colours. Where two stripes of the same colour cross, a block of solid colour is formed. Where different colours cross, the two colours are mixed in equal proportions to create a new colour. A tartan pattern is a geometric design, made up of blocks of solid colour which join on the diagonal, radiating across the fabric like spokes, and with each block of solid colour surrounded by blocks of mixed colours. Nowadays tartan is worn all over the world (not just by Scots), and is regularly seen on catwalks and in designer collections. What is the sett of a tartan? The design of a tartan (called the sett) is specified by its threadcount. The threadcount over half a sett with a full count at the pivot points for Maryland State is Y/16 K16 Y16 K16 R40 W8 R8 W/40 (where Y=Yellow; K=Black; R=Red; W=White). Here are Some State Tartans California New Mexico Carolina Rhode Island Colorado Connecticut Iowa State Dress Nevada Missouri Tartan proposed Maryland Tennessee Washington State State How come the colors don't quite match those on the State Flag?
