Kit de magnet à broder de perles petit format « Bouilloire sur fond bleu »

“Kettle on blue” is a cream teapot with its lid lifted on a deep blue ground.

What the picture shows

The teapot is painted with red hearts, green leaves and small flowers, and a red tulip on a stem peeks out from under the raised lid. Light blue pearl beads outline the handle, the spout and the wide bands on the body, while bronze beads mark the lid, the top rim and the lower belt. Four bronze triplets sit in the corners like little studs. The ground is a saturated blue rectangle with a light frame painted on the canvas. The contrast of warm bronze and cool blue sets the whole mood. 137 beads in two colours. Only the key lines are beaded; the rest of the picture stays as print on the canvas — that is by design, and no extra beads are needed for the background. The canvas is firm and clearly marked, so the beads sit evenly even on a square this small.
