2. Making the embroidery art
Step 1: Purchase embroidery materials. To start your crafts journey, you’ll need
to first purchase some embroidery tools. You’ll need an embroidery hoop, which
ranges in size from one inch to 20-plus inches in diameter and can be found in
plastic or wood.
Step 2: Hoop the fabric. Once you’ve found a hoop that’s to your liking, separate
the outer and inner circles by loosening the screw on the outer circle. Next, place
the inner circle underneath your fabric of choice on a flat surface. Then, place
the outer circle on top of the fabric and tighten the screw until the fabric is taut.
Step 3: Start to work with the pattern since the embroidery needed to work in
patterns first for you to know where to you starts to trace and embroider the
design.
Step 4: Trace the pattern onto the fabric. Once you’ve got your pattern picked
out, place a light source of some sort (windows work well) behind your pattern
and trace the design onto the back side of the fabric using a disappearing ink
pen. You’re now ready to get stitching.
Step 5: Thread the needle. Grab the dangling thread on your floss bundle, pull
around three feet of floss out, and cut it. Divide your floss into two equal strands
(there should be six individual strands altogether), and slowly pull them apart.
After threading one strand of separated floss through the eye of your needle, let
one side of the string run long, and another run short, say five inches. Take the
long end and make a knot.
Step 6: Start stitching. At this time, you’re starting to give color to the artwork.
Step 7: Rethread the needle. Eventually, the thread will run out. When that
happens, simply finish your stitch, thread the needle underneath the line of
stitching on the back side of the fabric, and tie it in a knot. Then, rethread the
needle, per instructions in step five, and get back to embroidering.
3. What is the importance and function of art embroidery
The importance of embroidery artworks can be seen in the many different
ways that people have used embroidery to express themselves. In addition to
being used to create clothing, embroidery has also been used to represent
artwork and as a means of preserving cultural traditions. It also plays a role
in tourism. When they saw the various embroidered tablecloths from
various tribes that symbolize them, many tourists were astounded. An old-
fashioned needlecraft known as embroidery has been used all over the
world to decorate and adorn textiles. Embellishment can offer color,
texture, richness, and dimension in terms of shape and aesthetics.

1. “Iridescence”
1. How to do it?
He found that using materials like shredded plastic, old paint, and scrap
wood in his paintings was the greatest way to demonstrate how waste might
be given a new life in a different medium. He created the masterpiece by
shredding plastic bags and using scrap wood from previous construction
projects. The artwork was created using recyclable materials, namely
plastic that was shred and combined with other elements like paints.
Step 1. Gather the material needed, collection of plastics that need for the
artwork
Step 2. Start to shredded the plastics.
Step 3. Used paints to give color to the shredded plastics according to the
desire color
Step 4. Start putting the main material to create the master piece.
2. What is the importance and function of plastic art
This type of art is significant because it encourages education about the
negative effects of plastics or single-use packaging. The artworks add value
to waste and employ recyclable materials not only to create works of art but
also to reduce the usage of plastic. The environmental benefits of recycled
art include, for example, its contribution to the use and prolonging the
useful life of materials and, as a result, by reducing the quantity of waste
generated. This also supports boost creativity about using plastic. Working
with these materials requires a lot of creativity and some level of technical
skill.
