Bead Embroidery Postcard Kit "Easter – 7"

Easter – 7 places an emerald bird on the rim of a large yellow egg, with willow branches reaching towards it. The scene reads like a spring fable.

What the picture shows

The egg at the centre is outlined in gold beads and left as print — a warm yellow surface with a brown shadow inside the opening. The bird in the upper right is printed too: emerald plumage, a blue sheen on the wing, a rusty breast. The whole willow branch is beaded — each catkin built as a separate ball of white and grey-lilac beads, the stems dark brown with a bronze glint. Green and brown leaf clusters with red flecks fill the lower right. The background, blue at the top and yellowish below, is left bare, so the raised catkins stand out all the more. There are eight bead colours.

The upright 84×140 mm piece is best seen up close — the texture of the catkins is the reason to make it. The frame in the photograph is not part of the kit. The canvas carries the full-colour design, so no separate paper chart is needed.
