Microbead Embroidery Postcard-Envelope Kit "Together warmer"

“Together warmer” shows two bullfinches pressed close together on a snowy branch. It is a night scene with almost no movement in it.

What the picture shows

The ground is a deep blue night sky, left as printing, with golden beads scattered over it as stars and a thin printed crescent moon in the upper left corner. The birds sit in the middle with their backs to the edges: their breasts are worked in orange and terracotta beads shading to a lighter tone, their heads and wings in black, and a cream-yellow patch of beads glows between them. A thin black branch runs horizontally beneath. Snow-laden boughs and drifts come in from both sides, laid in white, silver and pale blue beads in dense wavy rows, so the snow looks heavy and soft. Twelve colours, the most in the series.
