Mini kit calamita con perline «Natura morta con frutta»

“Fruit Still Life” shows grapes, a jug and fruit on a bright patchwork ground.

What the picture shows

The composition is built from large blocks of colour: yellow, blue, orange. In the centre hangs a heavy bunch of purple grapes, worked in purple beads berry by berry. Green beads form the leaves above the bunch, the tendrils on the right and the band of grass below. A striped blue and white jug stands behind, an orange pear and a red apple lie beside it, and a blue cloth with white flowers fills the top right. All of that stays as print. 159 beads in two colours. The beads do not cover the canvas completely: the printed image around them stays open, and every shade missing from the beads is given by the print itself. On a 50×50 mm square every bead shows, so it helps to lay the stitches in an even row facing one way.
