Kit de imán para bordar con abalorios «Oveja y caracol»

“Woolly and snail” shows a lilac sheep in glasses under an arch of flowers, with a snail crawling beside it.

What the picture shows

The sheep is worked in lilac and purple beads in small curls; its face and ears stay printed, and the glasses are marked by two dark rings. The thin stick legs are run in brown beads. An arch of golden beads curves above it, carrying red flowers with yellow centres and green leaves. Under the arch on the right a snail crawls along with a golden-brown shell. The blue ground stays printed: on art canvas the beads are not solid — they hold the figures, the arch and the flowers. There are almost no large areas here — every element is beaded separately, so the kit is easy to pick up in short sittings. The red flowers on the arch are the only warm colour in the piece, and they keep the lilac sheep from getting lost against the blue. The snail's shell is beaded in a spiral, from the centre outwards.
