MWM|| Embroidery, Sunset on the sea 🌅

Watching the sunset by the sea is one of the most wonderful experiences there is, in my personal opinion. Watching the sun go down, as if it were sinking into the ocean, is a spectacle. In this post I share with you how I was able to embroider my favorite landscape on a small piece of fabric using the cross stitch technique.

As I have told you in previous publications, I have decided to take up cross stitch embroidery again. I decided to start this reencounter with this beautiful technique by making very simple projects with very simple patterns. This time I show you this landscape sketch of a sunset at the sea. I found the pattern on Pinterest, but I made a modification to make it much simpler.

This time I practiced a little bit how to achieve a color gradient using different shades of the same color. This can be seen in the sun, which has a light yellow tone and a more intense tone at the edge. It is important to make this kind of color changes to give depth, light and shadows to the images we want to embroider. It is almost like coloring, only that it is done with threads.

Taking up cross stitch embroidery has made me remember my beginnings when I embroidered the crib linens for my first child. At that time I was just learning and did not pay much attention to details, I played with the colors of the patterns and changed them as I pleased. Now I understand that there are things that we cannot modify in a pattern because each pixel is designed to make the figure perfect.

I am very excited about these internships and small projects because I know they will lead me to try much larger and more complex projects. For now I will continue to make these little squares and then assemble them into a more elaborate project. For now I will say goodbye until a new publication. Thanks for reading, greetings and blessings.
