Svetlana Gerasimova – is a well-known needlewoman who creates beautiful pictures from ribbons. Her works have repeatedly taken part in exhibitions and competitions, winning prizes and first places. Numerous awards and recognition have become well-deserved results of talent, multiplied by diligence and the desire for self-improvement.

How it all began

Svetlana did not come to embroidery with ribbons right away. She has always loved to create something with her own hands, but she took up embroidery a little over a decade ago.

It all started after the birth of my daughter. Then Svetlana Gerasimova first tried her hand at embroidery. At first there was work in the technique of cross-stitch, then more complex embroidery went on - satin stitch. And only after the birth of her second child, the future craftswoman began to create works from ribbons. In this type of needlework, the skills she had previously acquired in simpler techniques came in handy.

Many years of collecting information on creating pictures with ribbons, studying the experience of famous embroiderers and practice led to the fact that a new craftswoman appeared - Svetlana Gerasimova. Ribbon embroidery has become for her a part of life that has broughtnot only the joy of creativity, but also fame, and a favorite thing.

Subtleties of craftsmanship

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

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

The basis for Svetlana's works is a canvas with an image. She herself prints the desired pattern, and then embroiders it with ribbons. The work uses different types of stitches. On the images of birds, one can feel a good command of the technique of embroidering with satin stitch. In some of her works, Svetlana uses paint toning ribbons (for example, when embroidering flowers).
