Kimono Maiden is a
charming Japanese figure that was inspired by a clothespin doll.
Most of the border motifs are executed in outlines of Elongated
Tent stitches, but the square units are Modified Rhodes stitches
that add textural contrasts to the other smooth elements. The
figure itself is executed in a variety of texture stitches,
and the obi is embellished with a handsome diaper pattern that
combines four threads and five stitches. This pattern is an
open network whereas all of the other fillings are solid or
closed. The colors chosen for the design are traditional richly
saturated Oriental hues. There is a dominance of warm red and
black areas that contrast well with the rich gold accents, and
any intense green, blue or purple may be substituted for the
bright blue highlights. Finished Design Size:
6.5 " x 11". |
