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

“Tropical flowers” is a bouquet of hibiscus and monstera leaves gathered in a soft, pearly range of colour.

What the picture shows

Two large hibiscus blooms with long stamens sit at the centre — one pink-lilac, the other paler, almost white, veined with blue. Broad split monstera leaves fan out around them in lilac, mint and emerald, along with the narrow blades of strelitzia. Pointed buds and the orange-yellow crests of bird-of-paradise flowers rise above, and small yellow plumeria with pink tips are scattered at the edges. The whole palette is cool and iridescent: pink, lilac, blue, mint. The background is pale, faintly blue, worked in loose brushstrokes. Beading is partial: only the flowers and leaves are worked in beads, while the soft light background stays printed on the canvas.
