Mini Bead Embroidery Magnet Kit "Squirrel"

“Squirrel” is a ginger squirrel with a bushy tail in a blue shirt standing on the grass.

What the picture shows

The animal faces you with its tufted ears up and its tail curled high behind its back. Clear amber beads outline the head, ears, tail and paws, while green beads cover the shirt collar, the blades of grass below and two flowers, one on each side. A yellow balloon hangs behind it and a pale one with a pink bow on the left. The shirt is blue, the nose red, and the ground a pale green with yellowish light. 145 beads in two colours. The background is not stitched: it is printed on the canvas and shows between the beads, so the picture is built on the play of print against raised beadwork. The piece is small and easy to carry along or save for an evening when you want to make something by hand.
