Eelmisel suvel olin lühikesel praktikal Hiiumaa muuseumis. Õppisin muuseumiesemeid kirjeldama ning koopiajoonist tegema. Esemed kirjeldamiseks sain ise valida, eeltöö tegin muisis ja kohapeal vaatasime hoidlas ringi.
Minu valikusse jäi tikitud padi HKM _ 3532:2 Tst 9:16
Padja kirjeldamine ja mahajoonistamine oli paras väljakutse. Tundub, et mis seal siis ära ei ole, aga süvenema hakates on palju detaile. Lõpuks tundus kõige mõistlikum lahendus kalka padjale asetada ja tikand ettevaatlikult maha joonistada.
Värvidele otsisin kaasavõetud lõngajuppide hulgast vasted ning pildistasin padja ja tikandi iga nurga alt üles, et kodus joonist tehes kogu info olemas oleks. Valguslaual sai üsna hõlpsasti joonise puhtalt maha võtta. Vormistasin tikandijoonise koos kirjeldusega ja püüdsin teha ka värvidega koopiajoonist.
Värvidega joonist teha oli keeruline. Joonis oli üsna suur, 1:1 suuruses, mis muutis pindade katmise keeruliseks. Just tausta värvimine oli raske ja ega lõpptulemus liiga hea ei saanudki. On nagu on, otsustasin, et ei kuluta rohkem aega. Ja väga hull ju ka ei ole.
Last summer I was an intern at Hiiumaa Museum for a short period of time. I learned how to describe museum textiles and how to make a copy drawing. I chose the objects for describing myself, First I did some research in muis, but they allowed me to look around in the repository as well.
I chose an embroidered pillow for my first task HKM _ 3532:2 Tst 9:16.
Describing and drawing the pillow turned out to be quite a challenge. At first glance it seems like an easy task, but once you dwell into it, there’s a lot of details. After several attempts I decided to use tracing paper and precautiously copied the image from pillow.
To identify colours I had brought a box full of yarn examples, so now I just needed to find the right ones. I also photographed the pillow from all possible angles to be sure, that when I’m at home making a pattern and drawing, I would have all the info I needed. To make a clear drawing of the embroidery, I found lighting table very useful. To the drawing I added list of embroidery stitches used on the original.
Lastly I attempted to make a coloured copy drawing of the pillow. That was so difficult. The drawing is quite large, in scale 1:1, what made it difficult to cover the surfeces evenly. Specially the background was hard and I admit the result isn’t too good. But I decided to leave it as it is and not to spend extensive amount of time. And overall I think it’s okay.
