Christmas Ornament Bead Embroidery Kit "Golden bee"

Golden bee is a bee with pale translucent wings and a black-and-gold striped body.

What the picture shows

The bee is seen from above, wings spread to the sides. Each wing is embroidered in pale beads with small clear stones along the edge, leaving openwork gaps inside — and it is these that make the wings look light. The body alternates black and gold stripes laid in dense arcs and narrows towards the bottom. The head is dark, with two antennae of strung beads. Sixteen colours: gold, amber, black and white. The print on the canvas stays in the gaps and does not fall out of the picture. The wings differ slightly in angle, so the bee seems to hover rather than lie flat. The stripes on the body narrow towards the bottom.
