Main Bead Embroidery Kit Tenderness

“Tenderness” shows a girl-angel leaning towards a small boy and offering him a yellow flower. The scene is set in an oval and kept in quiet lilac and grey tones.

What the picture shows

The angel wears a long lilac dress with a fringe and two large pale wings; the boy kneels in a white shirt and grey-blue trousers, a flower in his hands as well. Both wear necklaces of small beads. The oval field is framed by a lilac border with a plant pattern in the corners. Beads make up the angel's dress with its long fringe, the wings, both necklaces, the flowers, the corner ornament and the little spheres on the frame. Faces, hair and the warm blurred background stay as print, so the stitching only adds shine where it belongs. The whole range stays within lilac, white and grey, with no sharp contrasts.
