Kit spilla ricamata con perline «Foglia di monstera»

Monster leaf is a large cut-out leaf in green beads, with golden veins and blue stones.

What the picture shows

The leaf is seen from above, with its typical deep notches along the edges and a stalk below. The field is filled with green beads in several shades — from lime to deep emerald — laid along the veins. The veins themselves are drawn in golden beads and run from the central line to the edges. Several blue-turquoise faceted stones are sewn down the middle and add a cool sparkle. Fourteen colours. The print on the art canvas stays in the gaps between rows and supports the greens. The notches along the edge vary in depth, as on a real monstera, so the leaf does not look ruled out with a straightedge. The stalk below curves slightly.
