Kit de point de croix compté « Sur les îles aux cocotiers »

“On coconut islands” shows a bear in a wreath of tropical flowers and star-shaped sunglasses, drinking a cocktail.

What the picture shows

The head and paws are worked in warm brown with a lighter muzzle and a dark nose, and yellow star-shaped glasses sit over the eyes. A full wreath crowns the head: pink, yellow, white and raspberry flowers with green leaves trailing onto the shoulder. The bear wears a green and white striped top and holds a tall glass with a pink cocktail, a straw and a flower on the rim. Twenty floss colours go mostly into the wreath and the drink, while the figure itself takes a few shades of brown. The background is not stitched: in the photo the motif sits above the pocket of a white shirt, and the fabric stays as the ground.
