Mini Bead Embroidery Kit on Art Canvas "Estelle"

“Estelle” is a chestnut-haired girl in a yellow dress holding a white kitten.

What the picture shows

The figure is printed on the canvas with large eyes and round features, and the beads go into everything meant to shine: the gold crown above her fringe, the red flowers in her hair and on the skirt, the gold collar and the strings of beads running down the dress, the belt and the buckles on her shoes. The kitten is white with a pink nose, and its paws are picked out with a few silver beads. The background is pink with printed crowns in a lighter shade. Two vertical bands run down the sides — deep red, with yellow beaded motifs — and they hold the composition together at the edges. The skirt is divided into several tiers by strings of beads, with printed yellow fabric left between them — that is how the balance between embroidery and drawing is kept. The crown is worked as three points of gold beads. These side panels are the most densely beaded areas — a noticeable share of the beads goes into them.
