Christmas Ornament Bead Embroidery Kit "Lavender"

Lavender is a bunch of lavender spikes on green stems, gathered into a small posy.

What the picture shows

The bunch opens upward: three or four spikes of small violet, lilac and pink beads laid in tight clusters, like real lavender florets. Pale pearls and small faceted stones appear among them and catch the light. The stems are straight, embroidered in green beads, and come together at the bottom into a single bunch bound with a darker line of beads. Nineteen colours, most of them in the violet part. Print remains on the canvas between the spikes and adds depth to the posy. The spikes differ in height and lean slightly in different directions, so the posy looks gathered in a field rather than laid out to a ruler.

The piece is vertical, 66×91 mm, and holds well on a lapel or a linen dress. It is assembled following the instructions; the dried flowers and rings in the photo are props. The difficulty is average: the small beads are laid in clusters, which calls for even tension on the thread.
