Mini Bead Embroidery Kit on Art Canvas "Sweet tooth"

“Sweet tooth” is a bear at a little table of honey and berries on a yellow honeycomb ground.

What the picture shows

The ground is yellow, and large honeycomb hexagons are outlined on it in olive-green beads — traced rather than filled. A large bear sits on the right, reaching for the treats, with a green beaded string around its neck. In front of it a cloth is spread, beaded as a red-and-white chequerboard of tiny beads, and set with a dish of berries, a teapot, a honey jar and a green plant in a pot. A smaller bear with a white collar leans in from the left. Three bees of pale blue and dark beads hover above the table. The cloth is the most densely beaded part — the fine red-and-white check holds the centre well. The honeycombs, by contrast, are only outlined, and the yellow canvas between them is left open. The bees are tiny, two or three beads each, yet they are what gives movement to the upper part of the composition.
