Kit de broche à broder de perles « Cœur de France »

“Heart of France” is a slim Eiffel Tower brooch in silver-grey beads with pink crystals.

What the picture shows

The tower is shown from the front, from its wide base up to the thin spire. The openwork arches and crossings are worked in silvery and graphite microbeads, with gaps left between them that read as a metal frame. The tiered platforms are marked with rows of pale beads, and a vertical line of pink rondelles and bicones runs down the centre, lighting the figure and giving it colour. The top ends in a sharp spire of a few beads. Inside the outline the printed canvas is stitched densely, then cut out and assembled.
