Kit de bordado con abalorios sobre lienzo artístico: icono «San Nicolás»

“St. Nicholas” is a bishop in a white omophorion, with a gospel book and a blessing hand.

What the picture shows

The most bead-heavy icon in the group. The figure is shown to the waist, the face aged, with a high forehead and a short white beard. A wide white omophorion with dark crosses is laid over his shoulders; beneath it a pale vestment patterned with crosses and gold cuffs. His right hand is raised in blessing; in his left is a gospel book in a red-and-blue binding with a large lozenge at its centre. The halo is gold, the ground cream with an embossed scroll. The beads fill the omophorion, the vestment, the binding and the halo, while the face, the hands and the ground stay printed on the canvas.

The vertical 230×300 mm composition reads from several steps away. Because the pattern is already on the canvas, you can begin anywhere — many people start around the halo and the face, to see the proportions right away. The finishing seen in the photo is not part of the kit; the frame and glass are ordered separately.
