Christmas Ornament Bead Embroidery Kit "Cherries"

Cherries shows two berries on golden stems, with a pair of green leaves above them.

What the picture shows

The berries lie side by side, almost identical: each is built from red faceted stones with a white pearl sewn at the centre that reads as a highlight. Both are edged with rows of small red beads, so the shape comes out round and dense. The stems are thin, laid in golden beads, and meet at the top. The leaves are deep green with emerald facets, turned in different directions. Twenty colours, the most in this series. The gaps between beads remain as print on the canvas. One berry is a little larger than the other and sits lower, so the pair does not look mirrored. A pale line runs along the edge of the leaves and separates them from the berries.

The piece is summery and noticeable, good on a straw bag or a white shirt. It is finished following the scheme in the kit; the stickers and frame in the photo are not part of it. The difficulty is average: setting the stones in the berries takes the longest.
