Kit spilla ricamata con perline «Guance d'argento»

Silver Cheeks is a bear cub laid entirely in silver beads, pearls and mirror facets.

What the picture shows

The figure stands facing the viewer: a large head with round ears, a short body and paws to the sides. The whole surface is gathered from cold silver — grey pearls, mirror-faceted stones, steel and graphite beads laid in dense arcs along the contour of the body. Larger clear stones are sewn on the muzzle and the belly and glow more brightly than the rest. Fifteen colours, all within silver-grey. The printed art canvas remains in the narrow gaps between rows. The ears are edged with a chain of small pearls, and a darker row along the outline draws the silhouette against a light background.

The piece looks like a festive metal brooch and suits a dark coat. It is finished following the scheme in the kit; the cards and stars in the photo are shooting props. The difficulty is average: there are many stones of different sizes, and each is sewn on separately.
