Kit de bordado con abalorios Mini sobre lienzo artístico: icono «Santa Larisa»

“St. Larissa” is a martyr with a wooden cross at her chest. A blue-violet mantle over red robes.

What the picture shows

A white-and-blue veil worked in even rows of pearl beads covers the saint's head. A dark blue-violet mantle lies over her red clothing, falling from both shoulders in wide folds. Her right hand, raised to her chest, holds a dark wooden cross. The halo is gathered from amber beads and the ground is golden rays with a few red dots at the top. At the bottom there is a pale plaque set in a gold frame, with two squares of red-and-gold bead ornament on either side of it. The clothing, the halo and the border are beaded; the face, the hand and the golden rays stay printed on the canvas.

At 100×150 mm the piece is about the size of a palm, which is why the kit is often a first bead icon. The carved frame in the photo is not part of the kit — the finished embroidery is framed separately, in a narrow moulding or an icon case. The canvas is cut with a margin on all sides so the finished piece is easy to stretch.
