Kit de broche à broder de perles « Petit raton laveur »

Little raccoon is a grey animal face holding a red heart in front of it.

What the picture shows

The face is shown from the front, with pointed ears and fluffy cheeks. The fur is embroidered in grey, steel and black beads: dark stripes run along the edges of the ears and around the eyes, lighter ones over the cheeks and the bridge of the nose. The eyes are large, made with amber beads, and the nose is black and triangular. Below sits a heart of red faceted stones, edged with black beads. Fifteen colours in a grey-and-red range. The print on the art canvas stays in the gaps between rows and supports the shades of the fur. The inside of the ears is pale grey, and a black row along the edge of the face closes the silhouette so it does not get lost on dark clothing.
