Let's get to the cloth - or the woolen scarf - which carries "Aksinja" around her shoulders!
Here's a color-still from the movie ...:
We see a fabric in which the colors yellow-orange and bordeaux dominate and - at first glance - a rather confused-looking pattern ...
Since the scarf makes up the largest surface of the figure, so it will look pretty prominent, I have thought intensively about the color scheme.
I have the "free choice", as it were (and are!) many of such scarves in abundance.
The things are called in Russia "Кичка" (= Kitschka ").
"Aksinja" will get a scarf dominated by two basic colors:
A yellow-orange border (as in the picture above), as well as a bordeaux-colored main surface, as can be seen here ...:
Of course, the scarf will not remain bicoloured, but (I must be crazy!) will be covered with intricate patterns!
As for the patterns, I have picked out two templates that are Slavic and from the time of 18./19. Century which are called in Russia "огурец узор" ("ogurets uzor" = "cucumber pattern").
Where "cucumber" may be a bit misleading (but really is called!)! The "cucumber" is this amoebic thing here that appears in these old patterns ...:
I've dug up half of the internet and my entire fund and decided on these patterns:
The orange border should look like this ...
... and the dark red main surface like this...:
This will be a pagan work!
But since - to say it with Sun Tzu - a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, today I painted the edge of the scarf.
Pretty complicated color - especially since I have used the "Krapplack deep" only in traces, because the stuff tends to shine ...:
Photographing today's result is just a matter of luck once again it is very dark outside, because the clouds practically hang down to the roof ...:
Next week it will go on here...
Have a nice weekend!
Cheers
