Mini Bead Embroidery Magnet Kit "Sweet basket"

“Sweet basket” is a cupcake with tall pink cream and a cherry on top.

What the picture shows

The cake stands in the centre in a fluted case, its cream laid out in three wide tiers. Crimson beads fill the tiers and the case, white ones run along the edge of every tier, around the top rim and in a garland below. The cherry on the crown is made of crimson beads and its stem is left as print. The ground is pink with a painted damask pattern that shows clearly between the beads. Sweet in colour and very dense in composition. 155 beads. The print on the canvas shows between the beads: this piece needs no solid filling, and the beadwork acts as an accent over a finished drawing. The pattern is printed straight onto the canvas, so you can stitch anywhere — on the road or at the kitchen table, with no screen and no printouts.
