Christmas Ornament Bead Embroidery Kit "Home Happiness"

“Home Happiness” is a pair of white eggs with black folk-style birds and a red rim.

What the picture shows

The birds are worked in black beads over the printed silhouettes: a hen with a raised tail on one egg, a rooster with a red comb on the other. Sprigs of black beads and small red flowers run around them, with a red wavy band below. The white ground is left open, which makes the piece resemble painting on earthenware. The edges are trimmed with red beads and the pendants hang on white ribbons tied in bows. The red wavy band at the foot closes both designs.

• Finished size: 150×50 mm

• Difficulty:

The two pieces are sewn together, the decorative filler goes inside and a loop is left at the top. Black and red on white suits embroidered towels and pottery, so these pendants often stay in the kitchen after the holidays. The pattern is in colour, printed straight on the canvas. The clay jug, wooden eggs and the embroidered towel in the photo are styling props. The black beads lie densely, so the birds’ silhouettes come out as crisp as painted ones.
