Blackwork
Blackwork, sometimes historically termed Spanish blackwork, is a form of embroidery generally using black thread, although other colors are also used on occasion. Sometimes it is counted-thread embroidery which is usually stitched on even-weave fabric. Any black thread can be used, but firmly twisted threads give a better look than embroidery floss. Traditionally blackwork is stitched in silk thread on white or off-white linen or cotton fabric. Sometimes metallic threads or coloured threads are used for accents.
Scarletwork is like blackwork, except it is sewn with red thread.
Technique
The stitches used for counted thread blackwork are double running or holbein stitch, backstitch, and sometimes stem stitch. Historically it was done on plain weave fabric. Modern stitchers often use even weave fabric made especially for counted thread work.
Historically, there are three common styles of blackwork:

What You Do To Me (feat. Billy Danze Jim Jones & Nicole Wray)
by: BlakrocYou don't know, what you do to me (What you do to me)
All I see, is new to me (New to me)
Just four dollar bars, and embelished strong
Said you had, done me wrong
But we'll see (We'll see)
Yeah, what you do to me (What you do to me)
(In the meantime, in the meantime, they won't bother me. )
They don't bother you, well they don't bother me
Engine too loud in this brand new Ferrari V
So we couldn't hear the haters anyway, pardon me
Girls say I'm one of the biggest hearbreakers arguably
Cupid shoot arrows but this girl make my heart bleed
I swear to God if I die she could make my heart beat
Beat, please resuscitate a G
Give me mouth-to-mouth or even give me south-to mouth
Damn 'cause you don't know what she do to me
She could kill my soul only thing left is a eulogy
She so hot and ain't another brother cool as me
To get her cold as me I think I gotta buy her jewelry
What she do to me
Darling no, ha, what you do to me (what you do to me)
All I see, yeah, is new to me (Is new to me)
These strange colors, and all the others, no they can't see
(Done me wrong, we'll see, we'll see)
Oh mama, what you do to me (what you do to me)
(In the meantime, in the meantime, they won't bother me. )
(Verse Two - Billy Danze)
I'm from the hell hole
The total opposite of Melrose
Is where the homies get the money through the steel doors
If you don't know me I suggest you ask your kinfolk
Tell them the man here
Billy Danze here
Black Keys here
MO-P's here
You say its poppin' if its rockin' listen we there
(You don't know)
Come on be clear
(Whatever you do to me)
You could never ruin me
I'm good, I flooded the hood like A.C.
I'm modest - so you ain't really gotta praise me
I'm the artist, that's ghetto-ly known as O.G.
With the (Magnum)
With forever kid (Swagger) You could never get
Darling no, ha, what you do to me (what you do to me)
All I see, yeah, is new to me (Is new to me)
These strange colors, and all the others, no they can't see
(Done me wrong, we'll see, we'll see)
Oh mama, what you do to me (what you do to me)
