Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Toile fleurie »

“Flower canvas” — a solid flowering meadow from edge to edge, with no sky and no horizon. The densest and most colourful piece in this series.

What the picture shows

The canvas is filled with flowers throughout: red and crimson poppies at the bottom and to the left, yellow and orange blooms through the middle, pink and lilac flowers on the right, blue bells and pale blue butterflies, and red spikes on tall stems at the upper left. Thin green stems and leaves wind between them, and the ground shifts from dark green at the edges to a light yellow-green glow on the right. The beadwork is full: circles cover the entire field, background included, so the finished piece shimmers all over like a mosaic. That makes this pattern longer to work and heavier on beads than the others in the series — but the result reads unusually dense and saturated.
