French woman depicts distant space using embroidery

French needlewoman Ophélie Trichereau creates amazing paintings using threads. The woman depicts the endless expanses of space.

Bright planets, comets, meteorites and other space objects embroidered with satin stitch appear on the dark fabric. For a more voluminous image, the French woman resorts to the use of beads, buttons or rhinestones.

The creation of an embroidered painting begins with surface preparation. As a rule, dark fabrics are "wrapped" in a hoop. After that, sketches of the future image are made on it. Ophélie Trichereau uses light colored pencils for sketching.

First, the needlewoman runs the threads along the contours. This helps to determine the location of future objects and their sizes. Having picked up the threads, the Frenchwoman begins to fill in the voids with embroidery using the smooth surface technique. In some cases, you have to combine colors to get more realistic images.

Ophélie Trichereau is inspired by space. Unlike other needlewomen, who are "charged" with ideas from nature, the French craftswoman turns her gaze to heaven. She is interested in the planets of the solar system, distant stars and their inhabitants. The Frenchwoman tries in her embroideries to convey the depth to the end of the unknown world.
