Mini kit calamita con perline «Il postino 1»

“Postman – 1” is a teddy bear standing on a box and peeking into the mailbox to see whether a letter has come.

What the picture shows

A honey-coloured bear stands on a striped box and reaches up to the white mailbox on the wall, an envelope already in its paws. The outline of the bear, its ears and paws are worked in cream pearl beads, while the mailbox, the wall boards and the small flowers under the box are white. Behind them is a light interior with soft grey-blue shadows. The whole piece rests on two bead colours: warm cream fur against cool white. 144 beads in all. The beading is not solid — the printed canvas stays visible between the beads, and that is part of the design: the pattern is already printed in full colour, so there is no separate chart to check. Beading needles are in the kit as well, so you can start as soon as the box is open.
