Description
“Entwined Destinies” is the 1000th Abris Art kit, a jubilee piece: two hands with interlaced fingers inside a golden swirl of beads, with a bonus miniature of two hands reaching toward each other.
What the picture shows
Two arms enter the picture from the top: the forearms cross, the palms meet in the centre and the fingers interlace tightly. Streams of gold, amber and pearly beads swirl around them like molten gold running through the veins of pink and beige marble. Towards the bottom the background darkens into grey-brown waves, so the pale hands and the gold stand out. The 150×150 mm miniature continues the story: two hands stretch toward each other, fingertips almost touching inside a golden circle. Together the two works read as a pair about the invisible threads that connect people, about closeness and tenderness.
This is partial bead embroidery: only the golden streams and highlights are beaded, while the hands and the marble background are already printed in colour on the art canvas. The work gains depth and shine quickly, and the skin of the hands stays soft and painterly. Beads are sewn on one by one following the chart printed right on the canvas. The canvas edges are printed too, so the finished picture can be stretched over a frame and hung gallery style, with no moulding or mat.

Start with the miniature: it is a good way to get a feel for the beads and the chart before moving on to the large piece. Sew the golden streams from the centre outwards so the lines flow smoothly. The pair makes a warm gift for a wedding or an anniversary. Props in the photos (easels, vases, candles) are not included in the kit.
