Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of embroidery needlework technology, and in particular to a color-matching needlework technique for Guanyin embroidery in Dunhuang style. Background Technology

[0002] Embroidery is a general term for various decorative patterns embroidered on fabric using needle and thread. Embroidery is divided into two types: silk embroidery and feather embroidery. It involves using a needle to pierce silk thread or other fibers and yarns into the fabric with specific patterns and colors, creating decorative designs through the embroidery stitches. It is an art form that uses needles and thread to add human design and craftsmanship to any existing fabric. Embroidery is one of China's traditional folk handicrafts, with a history of at least two to three thousand years. Chinese embroidery mainly includes four categories: Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Sichuan embroidery, and Guangdong embroidery. Embroidery techniques include: cross stitch, random stitch, net stitch, all-over stitch, lockstitch, satin stitch, brocade stitch, flat goldwork, shadow goldwork, coiled goldwork, laid down, scraped down, drawn thread, sprinkled thread, and embroidery, etc. The uses of embroidery mainly include daily life and artistic decoration, such as clothing, bedding, tablecloths, stage decorations, and art decorations.

[0003] Guanyin embroidery is one of the four famous embroidery styles in China, namely Hunan embroidery. It is a representative project of the district-level intangible cultural heritage of traditional embroidery techniques, primarily featuring patterns of Guanyin (the Goddess of Mercy) and lotus flowers, hence the name. Products include purses, tiger-head hats, prayer cushions, Buddhist pillows, handkerchiefs, and portraits, all conveying auspicious wishes such as love, peace, and longevity. However, existing products lack a certain dynamism and liveliness; they appear somewhat constrained and unnatural overall. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a color-mixing needlework technique for Guanyin embroidery in Dunhuang style, in order to solve the problem of further enhancing the vividness of existing Guanyin embroidery.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: This invention provides a color-mixing needle technique for Guanyin embroidery in Dunhuang style, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Use 16-thread embroidery thread, following the natural direction of the object, and laying the base in a staggered manner with 1 mm intervals.

[0007] S2. Using 8-strand embroidery thread, wrap cloud feather needles around the gaps after laying the base, and move forward while adjusting around the edge of each stitch of the base needle;

[0008] S3. Use 4-thread embroidery thread to adjust the gaps, supplement the color of the exposed base, and soften the smoothness and gloss of the embroidery surface.

[0009] S4. Using 1-2 silk embroidery thread, wrap the base color around the direction of the first layer of base stitches, apply color at intervals, and adjust the color temperature.

[0010] S5. Wrap gold thread around the edge and secure the edge with a gold thread stitch.

[0011] Furthermore, all embroidery threads used are multicolored gold and silver threads and mulberry silk threads. The multicolored gold and silver threads are uniformly fine, bright in color, have good color fastness, high strength, are free of knife marks, and are resistant to acids and alkalis, soap washing, and abrasion. They can be purchased directly online. The mulberry silk threads, although soft and lightweight, are very durable, have better abrasion resistance and tensile strength, are not prone to bacterial and fungal growth, and can maintain their beauty and elasticity for a long time. Moreover, the luster and silk texture of the mulberry silk threads also give a luxurious and high-end feel.

[0012] Furthermore, the 16-thread embroidery thread uses one or two of orpiment and gamboge; the 8-thread embroidery thread uses earth yellow; the 4-thread embroidery thread uses white; and the 1-2-thread embroidery thread uses medium green. First, the initial pattern is embroidered using the 16-thread embroidery thread. Then, the brightness is adjusted using the 8-thread embroidery thread. Next, the 4-thread embroidery thread is used to supplement the color of the exposed base, softening the smoothness and gloss of the embroidered surface. Finally, the color temperature is adjusted using the 1-2-thread embroidery thread to achieve a mineral gray color-changing effect. In short, the base is laid first, then the brightness is adjusted to make the embroidery more natural. Finally, the color temperature is adjusted to achieve color harmony, resulting in a vivid and dynamic image.

[0013] Furthermore, the gold thread mentioned in step S5 is made of ochre yellow; it is needled using the technique of coiled gold needle, with a border drawn around the edge to refine the shape of the object and enhance the overall brilliance of the color. Ochre yellow's characteristic of appearing whiter and blacker makes it adaptable to various images because its moderate brightness allows it to create a striking contrast with bright images, thus highlighting the brightness of the image. In addition, ochre yellow can make the overall shape appear warmer and softer, adding a touch of approachability to bright images. When the image is more black or yellowish, ochre yellow may make the image appear even darker. This is because ochre yellow is similar to black and yellow tones, easily blending into the image, thus highlighting the darkness and reducing the contrast with the image to increase the overall softness of the shape.

[0014] Furthermore, the diameter of the 16-filament embroidery thread is 0.8 mm, the diameter of the 8-filament embroidery thread is 0.5 mm, the diameter of the 4-filament embroidery thread is 0.3 mm, and the diameter of the 1-2-filament embroidery thread is 0.1 mm. Existing commercially available embroidery threads within the aforementioned diameter range are preferred.

[0015] Furthermore, the base layer is a shade darker than the embroidery base. This is because a darker base layer makes the embroidery look neater and less prone to appearing stained.

[0016] Furthermore, the cloud feather needle in step S2 adjusts the direction, color temperature, and color tone by continuously stacking layers in one or several of the eight-character, human-character, and Sichuan-character directions during movement. The running direction of the cloud feather needle is flexible, and it adjusts and moves forward along the edge of each needle of the bottoming needle to supplement in one direction.

[0017] Advantages of the present invention: In order to determine the overall color tone, the present invention uses a darker shade of coloring as the base and leaves space to adjust the color temperature and lightness. For the expression of the unique traditional Chinese colors of Dunhuang caused by mineral changes, hierarchical adjustments are made to achieve the effect. The running direction of the cloud feather needle method is flexible, and in the eight-character, human-character, Sichuan-character and other directions, layers are continuously stacked during movement, playing the role of adjusting the direction, color temperature, and color tone. Finally, a border is drawn at the edge, and the colorful gold threads are applied with the plate gold needle method to achieve the effect of organizing the shape of the object, and at the same time increase the dazzling effect of the overall color.

Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0024] The present invention first lays a base with a coloring of a deeper shade and leaves gaps to determine the overall color tone. Through the laying stitch method, it is layered to adjust the color temperature and lightness, thereby expressing the unique traditional Chinese color expression of Dunhuang due to mineral changes. Then, the cloud feather stitch method is used in directions such as eight-character, herringbone, and Sichuan character, and layers are continuously stacked during the progress, which plays a role in adjusting the direction, color temperature, and color tone. Finally, a surrounding edge is taken in at the edge by the plate gold stitch method to achieve the effect of tidying up the shape of the object image and at the same time increase the dazzling effect of the overall color.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a Guanyin embroidery Dunhuang color adjustment stitch method, including the following steps:

[0026] S1. Use a 16-strand embroidery thread to travel in the natural direction of the object, in a way with an interval of 1 millimeter, and lay the base in an orderly manner;

[0027] Specifically, the threads used in this embodiment are all multicolored gold and silver threads and mulberry silk threads, with different thicknesses, densities, and directions of thread travel to adjust the colors. For example, traditional colors such as orpiment and gamboge, which often appear in Dunhuang murals, are first laid down using 16 strands of Hunan embroidery thread, about 0.8 mm thick, at 1 mm intervals, following the natural direction of the object.

[0028] S2. Using 8-strand embroidery thread, wrap cloud feather needles around the gaps after laying the base, and move forward while adjusting around the edge of each stitch of the base needle;

[0029] Specifically, in the gaps after the base layer is laid, the embroidery is supplemented in one direction using the cloud feather needle technique. The embroidery thread is earth yellow, with a diameter of 8 silk threads (approximately 0.5 mm) in Hunan embroidery. It is adjusted and moved forward around the edge of each stitch of the base layer to reduce the brightness of the brown color, achieving the brightness of the Dunhuang color tone.

[0030] S3. Use 4-thread embroidery thread to adjust the gaps, supplement the color of the exposed base, and soften the smoothness and gloss of the embroidery surface.

[0031] Specifically, after the brightness of the pattern is adjusted, white embroidery thread, with a diameter of 4 silk threads (approximately 0.3 mm) in Hunan embroidery, is used to refine the pattern at intervals, supplementing the color of the exposed areas and softening the smoothness and gloss of the embroidered surface.

[0032] S4. Using 1-2 silk embroidery thread, wrap the base color around the direction of the first layer of base stitches, apply color at intervals, and adjust the color temperature.

[0033] Specifically, using medium green embroidery thread, with a diameter of 1-2 silk threads (equivalent to approximately -0.1 mm) in Hunan embroidery, the color is applied intermittently along the direction of the first layer of base stitches to achieve the effect of harmonizing the color temperature, making it close to the long-lasting, mineral gray color change effect in the Dunhuang color scheme.

[0034] S5. Wrap gold thread around the edge and secure the edge with a gold thread stitch.

[0035] Specifically, the edges are finished with a five-colored gold trim, using an earthy yellow from the same color family of five-colored gold threads to trim and finish the edges, achieving a dazzling effect.

[0036] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the color-matching needlework technique for Guanyin embroidery provided by the present invention, through the layered adjustment of the laying needle technique, enables the color temperature and brightness to better express the unique traditional Chinese colors produced by the changes in minerals in Dunhuang.

[0037] By using the flexible cloud feather needle technique, layers are continuously added during the process, which can adjust the direction, color temperature, and hue, making the embroidery delicate, thick, round, lively and beautiful. Then, the gold thread needle technique is used to finish the edge, which can achieve the effect of tidying up the shape of the object, while increasing the overall color brilliance.
