Kit para bordar un broche con abalorios «Campanita»

“Bell” is a festive bell worked in golden yellow beads, with a green fir sprig above it.

What the picture shows

The bell faces you with its opening: the dome is built from rows of yellow, gold and warm orange beads that lighten towards the top. A band of deeper gold runs along the rim, and a large clear hemisphere sits inside like a clapper. A sprig in two shades of green wraps over the bell, with red berries and small bicones. Stones of different shapes — a drop, a leaf, a hatchet — are scattered over the sprig, so the surface stays uneven and alive. The design is printed on the canvas and stitched over completely inside the outline.

The finished bell is 82×70 mm and the kit holds 21 bead colours. The work is of average difficulty: many shade transitions on the dome and small stones along the sprig. The brooch is worn on a coat or a jumper through the winter, and for the rest of the year it looks good pinned to a festive wreath. The design is printed straight onto the canvas, so there are no squares to count: the colour you need shows under the needle.
