Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Papillons de nuit »

“Moths” — large golden-brown moths among a wavy pattern of flowers and flowing colour. The composition is decorative, close to stained glass.

What the picture shows

The central panel is filled with waves of turquoise, pink, lilac and spring green that curl around the middle. Three large moths fly through them on patterned brown-and-gold wings, and stylised yellow and pink flowers with round centres open between them. Lower down, the pattern turns into crimson-pink scrolls. A thin pink border encloses the centre, and two vertical side panels with a pale drawing and faint moths remain on either side. The stitching here is almost solid: beads cover the whole central panel including its background, while the side panels stay printed and act as a ready-made mount.
