Module 2 Chapter Two - Blackwork Tonal Columns















Three tonal columns using different techniques to illustrate shading. From left to right these are:
a. adding additional stitches to the design
b. varying spacing using overlap to grade shading
c. varying thickness of threads - No 12, 8 and 5 perle cotton, stranded cotton, tapestry yarn

 

Three Columns Reverse

Three tonal columns showing reverse side of finished sample.  The tonal variations are still evident with the less precise, more freestyle, random stitching.  Interesting effects to consider for alternative ways to stitch samples and further development in projects for this Module.
