Kit de broche à broder de perles « Lettre A »

Letter A is a monogram in a violet-and-lilac range with pink touches.

What the picture shows

The letter is built from two sloping lines and a crossbar. The left part is filled with deep violet stones, while the right lightens into lilac and pink, so the letter carries an internal shift of colour. A large clear teardrop stone is sewn into the upper corner and works as the accent. The contour is outlined in dark beads, and the feet widen slightly at the bottom. Fourteen colours. On art canvas the beads do not cover solidly: print matched in tone remains between the stones. The crossbar sits below the middle and the apex is cut flat, so the shape looks modern, without extra serifs. Small pink beads are scattered along the right-hand line. The left stroke is thicker than the right, so the letter leans as if written with a pen under pressure.
