Mini kit calamita con perline «Pulcino 1»

“Chicken – 1” is a fluffy yellow chick with big blue eyes standing on a mound in the sun.

What the picture shows

The chick fills almost the whole picture: a round head, wide blue eyes, an orange beak and matching feet. Yellow beads outline the head and body in a dense row that brings out the fluffy silhouette, while green beads sit in the grass on both sides and on the bushes behind. A sun with rays is painted top right, blue sky on the left, and the mound underfoot is dark green. The ground stays a soft pastel print, so the beads work as an outline. 138 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.
