Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Promenade en mer »

«Sea walk» shows two dolphins gliding among vivid corals, with small fish darting above them.

What the picture shows

A pair of grey-blue dolphins swims at the centre: the larger one turned to the side, the smaller one just above, both worked in pale beads with a pearly sheen. A big red-orange coral with wavy edges rises on the left, yellow-green branches on the right, and violet, pink and lemon bushes with a starfish rest on the sand below. Yellow striped fish move through the water at the top. The background is deep blue water lightening towards the bottom. The beadwork is partial: beads form the dolphins, the corals, the fish and the starfish, while the blue water and the sandy floor stay printed on the canvas, which keeps the picture clear and deep.
