Mini Bead Embroidery Magnet Kit "Pattern – 2"

“Pattern – 2” is a pink and red diamond with a flower at its heart.

What the picture shows

The printed base here is lighter than in the neighbouring ornaments: the cross-stitches are drawn in a muted pink-red. Over them, red beads form a flower right in the centre and four trefoils along the edges of the diamond, while black beads run in long diagonals from corner to corner and set three dots on each point. The red toothed motifs in the corners of the canvas are left unbeaded. The composition is strictly symmetrical, and the balance between the pink print and the dark lines is what carries it. 145 beads. Only the key lines are beaded; the rest of the picture stays as print on the canvas — that is by design, and no extra beads are needed for the background. The canvas is firm and clearly marked, so the beads sit evenly even on a square this small.
