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

“Frigate” shows a sailing ship under full canvas crossing open water, with the golden spire of a bell tower glowing on the far bank.

What the picture shows

The main subject is a three-masted frigate with cream and ochre sails and a dark hull marked by a light band of gun ports. A smaller sailing boat follows behind on the left, and further off runs a low embankment with green trees and a tall bell tower topped by a golden spire and dome. The sky is laid in broad strokes: blue above turning to warm yellow near the horizon. The water is built from moving blue and turquoise bands with white highlights. The beadwork is partial: beads cover the sails, the rigging, the hull with its gun ports, the spire and domes, the outline of the embankment and the reflections on the water, while the sky and most of the waves stay printed.

What you get

• Natural artist canvas with the full-colour pattern printed on it — no chart to follow on a screen
• Colour key for Czech Preciosa beads
• Beads, needles and thread are chosen separately

Specifications

• Finished size: 300×300 mm (11.8×11.8 in)
• Beads needed: approx. 2,267
• Bead colours: 13
• Base: natural artist canvas

The format is square, 300×300 mm. For its size the bead count is modest, so this is a pattern about the neat graphic line of the rigging rather than a solid field — a good choice for anyone who likes maritime subjects and clean outline work.
