Svetlana Gerasimova - a craftsman who creates living pictures

Svetlana Gerasimova is a famous needlewoman who creates beautiful paintings from tapes. Her work has repeatedly participated in exhibitions and competitions, taking prize and first places. Numerous awards and recognition became the deserved results of talent multiplied by diligence and the desire for self-improvement.

How it all began

Svetlana did not come to the embroidery with ribbons . She always loved to create something with her own hands, but she embroidered herself just over a decade ago.

Everything began after the birth of my daughter. Then Svetlana Gerasimova first tried her hand at embroidery. First there was a work in the technique of cross-stitch, then went more complicated embroidery - smooth. And only after the birth of the second child, the future master began to create works from tapes. In this kind of needlework, skills that were obtained earlier in more simple techniques were useful to her.

Many years of collecting information on the creation of paintings by tapes, studying the experience of famous embroiderers and practice led to the emergence of a new masteress, Svetlana Gerasimova. Embroidery with ribbons was for her part of life, which brought not only the joy of creativity, but also fame and a favorite thing.

Subtlety of Mastery

In her works the needlewoman very accurately depicts flowers and birds. They look like alive. The master herself said that in the depiction of birds it is very important that the direction of the stitches correspond to the direction of growth of the feathers, then the bird will look natural.

Some works not only cause admiration, but also convey a mood, for example, a drake flying in the rays of the setting sun over a forest river. According to Svetlana Gerasimova, embroidery with ribbons differs from other types due to its bulk and 3D effect. However, in itself, this effect is not capable of creating a special mood of the picture. First of all, this is the talent of the master, which manifests itself in every stitch.

The basis for Svetlana's works is a canvas with a picture. She herself prints the desired drawing, and then extends it with ribbons. Different stitch types are used in the work. On the images of birds you feel a good mastery of embroidery technique. In some works Svetlana uses the toning of tapes with the help of paints (for example, when embroidering flowers).

Life on canvas

In her works Svetlana Gerasimova Conveys not only the color and volume, but also the texture of the depicted flower. Dandelions look airy, spikelets - firm, and peonies - gentle. Thanks to this naturalism, the work looks alive.
