Gzhel — This is a type of folk painting of blue and white ceramics. It originated in Russia in the Gzhel volost, which was famous for its pottery masters.

Initially, their dishes were made of white clay, then they began to be decorated with blue-blue patterns. The painting uses 30 shades of blue. But what's most interesting — when the dishes are painted, all the colors look gray-black. And only after firing do they appear and open up, showing all their shades and transitions from light to dark. These are the properties of cobalt - blue paint.

There is no such painting anywhere in the world. She is very original, beautiful and unusual.

It is not surprising that the motives for such paintingAnd Craftswomen and needlewomen try to use it in sewing, knitting and embroidery.

• Gzhel embroidery is always done on snow-white canvas.
• Only blue threads are used. The more shades, the better. Transitions from one thread to another should be invisible. Then the drawing turns out voluminous and natural.
• The embroidery begins with the lightest tones and moves towards the darkest.
• The edges of the fabric need to be finished. This is done by machine or by hand.
• We fix the canvas in the hoop.
• We draw it into squares equal to 10 notebook cells using a water-soluble marker. This will make it easier to transfer the drawing and avoid distortion.
• We embroider with floss thread. Let's take it twice.For stems, a backstitch stitch is suitable.
