Kit de bordado con abalorios sobre lienzo artístico: icono «Santa Fe (Vera)»

“St. Vera” is a young martyr with loose hair, holding a cross in both hands.

What the picture shows

The lightest icon in the group in mood. Long chestnut hair falls freely over her shoulders, with no veil or crown. The clothing is plain: a white shift in fine folds, and over it a deep red mantle thrown across the right shoulder. Both hands are raised to her chest holding a cross — green with a gold centre. The halo is gold and broad, the ground cream with an embossed scroll and beaded fans above. White, red and green together make the composition read as high-contrast despite the small palette. The beads fill the shift, the mantle, the cross and the halo, while the face, the hands and the ground stay printed on the canvas.

The 230×300 mm format suits both a home corner and a name-day gift. The full-colour print on the canvas shows where each bead goes, so the kit is taken up by people stitching with beads for the first time as well, as long as the first rows are not rushed. The frame is chosen separately: it is not included in the kit.
