Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Fais un vœu »

“Make a wish” — three large ornamental baubles with floral patterning on a saturated violet ground. The piece is dressy, close in feeling to a greetings card.

What the picture shows

The baubles differ in size and shape and hang from fine strands of beads. The left one is turquoise, with yellow and white flowers and a full crown on top; the upper one is pale blue, covered in pink and crimson florets; the lower one is lemon yellow with a violet pattern and a dark border, glowing from within. Garlands of small beads and blossoms are strung between them, with a spray of pink and white flowers at the upper left. Two butterflies rest on the right, and another is painted on the ground below. A handwritten English inscription runs across a pale ribbon in the middle. The fill is partial: beads cover the baubles, the garlands, the flowers and the butterflies, while the even violet ground together with the ribbon and its lettering stay printed on the canvas.
