Kit de broche à broder de perles « Friandise »

Yummy is an ice cream in a waffle cone whose scoops are made from fluffy pompoms.

What the picture shows

The cone is shown upright, point down. The waffle is laid in silver and blue beads in a lattice, with clear faceted stones sewn at the crossings, so the surface glitters like sugar glaze. Above are two scoops of ice cream, pink-red and blue, both made from a fluffy pompom, which makes the piece three-dimensional and soft to the touch. Twelve colours in a cool range with a warm pink accent. The print on the art canvas remains between the rows of beads. The cone narrows unevenly towards the bottom, and a pale stripe along its upper edge suggests the ice cream has melted a little. The scoops sit side by side, slightly different in size, and together they are wider than the cone itself.
