Kit spilla ricamata con perline «Scintillante»

Sparkling is a pair of glasses: a tall one with red wine and a lower one with an amber drink. An evening, slightly festive theme.

What the picture shows

Both glasses are worked on the same principle: the outline and the stem are laid in black and steel beads, while the bowl is packed with faceted stones. In the tall glass they are red, of different sizes, with several larger drops — the wine is read at once. In the lower one they are amber and honey, with small bubbles of pale beads above. Eighteen colours give a move from black to silver and from ruby to topaz. The print on the canvas stays in the gaps between beads. The stems of both glasses are narrow with a wide foot, and a thin pale line along the rim of the bowls imitates glass. The bubbles suggest a drink just poured.
