Mini kit calamita con perline «Ospite d'inverno»

“Winter guest” is a snowman in a red hat and dress holding a small fir tree.

What the picture shows

The figure stands facing you: a round white body, a carrot nose, a coal smile. A red hat with white pearl trim, and the same trim along the collar and hem of the red dress. Red beads fill the clothes densely, white ones make the trim, the large snowflakes and the snow below. In its right hand the snowman holds a green fir tree, and it has raised the left one in a purple mitten. A red bird sits at its feet and the ground is a greenish blue. 154 beads in two colours. Only the key lines are beaded; the rest of the picture stays as print on the canvas — that is by design, and no extra beads are needed for the background. The canvas is firm and clearly marked, so the beads sit evenly even on a square this small.

A magnet like this is often taken as a small present or as a first try at bead embroidery: there are not many beads, and the result shows within an evening. The frame in the photo is not included and is chosen separately.
