The idea came when she met the artist Agniya Shangina at a festival in Vologda and saw textile works nail to boards. With her permission, Vera also began to use simple boards or wooden frames. Constantly searching for materials is a way of life.
Sometimes good frames can be found
At a flea market, auction, Avito. There are a lot of antique dealers on Instagram* who sell frames. Once I was looking for a frame for a mirror and found a man on Avito who was selling old embroideries and frames, but the quality was unclear due to bad photos.
They were cheap
I decid to buy several at once so as not to overpay for delivery. He receiv two exquisite frames and a beautiful satin stitch embroidery with birds of paradise. I had a work with wood and figures of Adam and Eve, but I could not frame it: no frame was band database suitable. And here everything came together perfectly.
Then I began to take frames more seriously and specifically
Look for interesting ones, but I often buy old ones and paint them . Vera Kerinskaya artist the embroider canvases herself, and posts the finish to avoid confusion, each web resource is assign works on her Instagram account*. Sometimes she takes orders, but this is more of an exception. She discusses only the main points with the customer – the theme.
The approximate palette
How many figures will be in the composition. Sometimes there are repetitions of previous works, but Vera admits that this is much more difficult: in this case, the focus is not on creating an image, but on making it as similar as possible and choosing the same tone of threads. The price range for the works is wide: Vera puts some up for sale for six to nine thousand rubles, while others cost 80 to 90 thousand and more. She explains that she is guid by usa data her inner feelings when making her assessment.
