Once the model is created, the 1st step is the realization of a cardboard.

What is than cardboard? It's sort of the 'boss' of the book, an indispensable tool. Is reproduction, usually in gouache, the reason you want to embroider: tapestry combines shape and colours by pixels. Therefore, they are delimited by lines and then painted or numbered. This cardboard is then fired a layer that will reproduce the linework on the canvas.
