Bead Embroidery Kit on Art Canvas "I believe in fairy tales"

“I believe in fairy tales” is a stocking on which Santa rides a white llama; instead of the usual reindeer team there is a visitor from the south.

What the picture shows

The top of the cuff and the heel are covered by red and pink bands with a diamond pattern worked in beads — they read as the ribbing of a knitted jumper. Below, against a turquoise ground, stands a white llama with a long neck, pink pompoms on its bridle and a patterned blanket on its back. Santa sits astride in a red coat, with a white beard and a red hat, a sack in his hand. White snowflakes fall around them, and a band of dark green fir trees and white snow runs along the bottom. The beads cover the figures, the patterned bands, the snowflakes and the trees; the turquoise ground between them stays as printing on the canvas. A burgundy border follows the outline.
