Esquema para bordar con abalorios sobre lienzo artístico (sin abalorios) «Amor»

“Love” — a large heart assembled from flowers on a turquoise ground, with With Love lettered in the corner. The piece is tender and celebratory at once.

What the picture shows

The ground is pale turquoise, with painted translucent leaves and small blossoms outlined in dotted beadwork. At the centre is a heart built from large blooms: pink spiral roses, orange and yellow daisies, white flowers with yellow centres, blue stars and a terracotta chrysanthemum on the right. Between them sit dark green leaves, small red berries and yellow buds. In the lower right corner the English lettering is written in a flowing hand, with a small red heart in place of one dot. The fill is partial: beads cover the flowers of the heart, the foliage, the small blossoms on the ground and the outlined leaves, while the turquoise field itself and the lettering stay printed on the canvas.
