Kit de adorno navideño para bordar con abalorios «Cachorro de tigre»

“Tiger cub” shows a striped tiger cub in a red cap with a white pompom and a yellow scarf on a pale blue ground.

What the picture shows

The stripes are worked in black beads straight over the printed face, the cap in red beads with a white trim, the scarf in yellow and peach rows falling downwards. The ground stays printed: blue snow and faint snowflakes. The circle is trimmed with silvery white beads and the ribbon is white. The second part of the work is a blue circle with a large deep blue snowflake dotted with pink. The pompom on the cap is made of a few large white beads. The peach and yellow rows of the scarf flow smoothly into one another.

Both pieces are sewn together with the padding inside and hung on the ribbon. The work is small and simple in technique, so it suits anyone just trying bead embroidery. The card with branches in the photo is the backdrop of the shoot and is not included. The stripes are worked one at a time, leaving the printed face open — that is how the cub keeps its expression. The pattern is printed on the canvas in colour.
