More than ten years ago, I stitched the first challenging piece of thread painting in my embroidery life. It was a Trish Burr design called Iris Spartan. I didn't know if I was ready for this project at the time, but I jumped in and gave it a try. It was quite a ride! With this look back, I'm going to provide some critiques of things that could have been done better and also point out bits that I think turned out well. Also, I'm going to call all of the standards and falls on the iris 'petals' because it's easier! At the time I worked this project it was available as a stamped design from Trish. She was using cotton satin fabric in those days. The iris is stitched with DMC floss (single strands) and a #10 crewel needle. The project started with the bud and stems. I'd never stitched anything with so many colours jammed into so many small spaces! Also, there were lots of directional changes to keep an eye on. There are some good things and bad things about the bud and stem. In the image below the blue letters are the 'bad' and green is 'good'. The stitch direction on the light part of the bud (A) is truly awful. It's all over the place and doesn't flow well. That's definitely a lack-of-experience error. The dark areas on the sepal below the bud (B) are too large and clumpy. There needs to be less dark or at least it should be broken up to lessen the clumpiness. I like the shading and stitch direction on the shapes below the upper sepal (C). There are some really nice subtle, very thin dark lines indicating shadows on the turned edges. With the stem and bud finished it was on to the flower. There is a lot of layering of the flower petals so stitching from background to foreground elements required focus. There are many things that could be improved on the upright petals (see below). The left and right background petals (A, B) really stand out to me. The shading is very poorly done. On the left petal (A) there's a line between shade colours (blue line). That should have been blended better. The problems at B are even worse. The two blue lines indicate where one colour stops and another abruptly starts. That's bad! The two shades should have been blended together. The yellow lines also indicate a place where there are lines of colour rather than a blend. All of the problems with A and B could have been fixed without ripping anything out. I didn't necessarily know that at the time and I probably didn't 'see' the problems, either. I'm more sensitive to these types of problems with the benefit of experience. There is some nice shading at C. I like the way the stitching fans out (green arrow) and the small upright petal has a nice accent with the lighter bit of colour (black arrow). There are some directional problems at D. I didn't manage a very graceful change of direction as I worked down the petal. It's not horrible, but could be better. Overall, there is some nice contrast between parts in shadow and parts in the foreground. All of the petals have defined edges and don't disappear into each other. The left lower petal was the trickiest part of the entire project. There are many, many different colours in this petal. I recall switching colours with every stitch at times. That being said, I still think the blending could be better (i.e., smoother). I like how the little shadows underneath the petal at the bottom turned out. Here is the finished flower: The finished project: I still like how this piece turned out, but I wonder what it would look like if I stitched it now, ten plus years later, with more experience. It would be spectacular in silk!
