Gorgeous! Takes such patience and and curiosity of outcome to pursue this one! Every new one you make must be a breathless to see what happens in the end! I love that about art:D
This is such a wonderful stitch. I learned this from Susan Taylor Brown and your name came up in her livestream last week when a newbie was asking for artists to watch for inspiration. I love the work you do and have subscribed. I am not doing a lot of stitching atm but I have and I will. I do have a couple of pieces on the go. tfs. 😀
@@ArianeZurcher212 I'll let you know how it works out. I think they were called "Colonial" needles and they were on amazon. I have Prime so that's why I ordered there to avoid the dastardly shipping costs. I didn't know whether to get the sharp or the blunt so I chose blunt. I hope that was right.
The Edmar threads also work fantastic for tendrils. They are commonly used in Brazilian embroidery and come on several weights, including a super fine one for skinny tendrils. Appreciate your videos!!
I've enjoyed your various videos; I just picked up embroidery again after decades. I have never made bullion so long. Can't wait to try it out. Thank you for the inspiration and gentle presentation. New sub. [rummages for pliers...]
I have to tell you this. I love the organic animal octopus look of this. So, I watched, paused, made a beauty. I said, I've got this and made one without the video. There is a thread on the fabric plus the tendril. Where did that come from? Watch the video, make a beauty, try my own and there's that freakin thread again. Repeat over and over!! My point is, where and how you begin is THE most important part unless you want to see that extra freaking thread!! 🤣💟
Thanks Ariane, it’s interesting that until I started making the tendrils I wasn’t really conscious that I was wrapping my bullion knots the left handed way! The right handed way doesn’t feel natural. Or was when the Razzle started to untwist the strands they I wonder it the opposite direction. It is such a pretty stitch I shall definitely do more of them.
Hi Nancy, yes, depending on which end of the thread you've knotted, it can do that. Try knotting the opposite end next time and see if that helps or wrap clockwise instead.
@@ArianeZurcher212 wow. Thank you for getting back to me! I am just loving learning from you all these stitches and wanderings with thread. I have never considered myself an artist but you are encouraging me to find and trust my inner artist. Thank you.

Thank You Ariane...I love that you are always telling us not to worry...^..^
Hi Fran! I’m so glad that helps!! We’re supposed to be having fun, right?! ❤️
That is so cool
❤️
I ordered some Bullion needles yesterday. The largest is 7 inches. Can't wait to get all my supplies and try this out.
7"!! Wow. I don't know that I've ever seen a bullion needle that is that long, other than for making dolls. Let me know how it goes. ❤️
@@ArianeZurcher212 There is a 3 1/2" a 5" and a 7" in the set. Don't know as I'll be using the 7" and not if it bends like my doll needle. lol
@@susanhamilton1822 yes, that’s what I was wondering - the bend. 💕

Love listening to you work through stitches, so interesting.
Oh thank you, Patricia!❤️
I’m just about to do tendrils on my piece and saw this video so I’m going to give it a go. Loved yours ! Very pretty and very unique on a piece.
Oh good! You must tell me how they turned out!
This looks fun!!
They are! Not easy but once you get the hang of it, lots of fun.
These are amazing Ariane! Such beautiful stitching. Thanks for sharing and I am so thrilled I found your channel!❤️
Oh, I'm so glad!! Bullion Tendrils are very dramatic!! ❤️
Wow! You are woman! 110 wraps! Had no idea about the twist is in the different direction one wraps.
It's fun to play around with!!❤️

Shannon Wright thank you for the tip! 💕

[rummages for pliers...]
Yes, pliers are a must!! ❤️💕❤️
Gorgeous!

So fabulous👏🏻 I can’t wait to try it
It's fun, but I do recommend having a pair of good pliers handy!
Beautiful!
Thank you so much Rachel!

So were you able to get it finally?! You’re keeping me in suspense ❤️💕❤️
@@ArianeZurcher212, I did!! 💟
@@susanjerrell9220 whew! I’m so glad. ❤️😂❤️

They are challenging, but the end result is pretty dramatic! ❤️💖❤️
Good morning my dear Ariane! Have a nice day (kiss to Merlín!)...
Good morning! ❤️😻❤️
how pretty, I thought you were going to make an octopus.
❤️🤣❤️
So when you wrap counterclockwise I am finding it unwinds the spinning of the thread with the eleganza razzle.
Hi Nancy, yes, depending on which end of the thread you've knotted, it can do that. Try knotting the opposite end next time and see if that helps or wrap clockwise instead.

@@nancykalinowski7354 that’s wonderful and makes me so happy! Go you!!
I wonder if you can tell me, for a 100 wrap tendril, how long is the thread you use? Thank you
Paige McKelvey it depends upon the thread. I would say 20 - 30” would be safe though, but I’d probably experiment and make notes.
