Perlenstickerei-Set auf Kunstleinwand „Armband Viridian“

“Viridian” is a bracelet with a wavy edge worked in emerald, turquoise and gold beads.

What the picture shows

The design is built from long curved feathers spreading from the centre: dark green and malachite shafts, turquoise barbs and golden rows between them. A cluster of faceted stones is gathered at the heart — clear, green and honey-coloured stones of different shapes, the largest of which shimmers in the light. The lower edge is wavy and outlined in deep emerald, so the strip never looks straight. The canvas is covered completely; twenty-six colours give a transition from almost black green to pale turquoise, while the gold works as a thin dividing line. The golden rows never close into a solid line: they run as a dotted trail between the green feathers.
