Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Envol d'éclaboussures de cristal »

“Crystal spray fly” is a fairy-tale landscape with a waterfall, a rainbow and a sunrise, held inside a great ring of flowers and butterflies.

What the picture shows

At the centre lies a green valley: a leaning tree with a round crown, a stone bridge, and beneath it a wide waterfall breaking into white and blue spray. A rainbow arches over the bridge, with a pale sun and pink-lilac clouds behind it, green hills and distant cliffs to the right. All of this is framed by a huge crescent-shaped arc laid out in bands of turquoise, green and lilac. The edges of the canvas are deep blue and violet, sown with flowers — white clusters, raspberry bells, small stars — and pale butterflies drift at either side. Beading is full: the whole field of the pattern is covered in beads, from the waterfall to the darkest corner of the background.
