Mini kit calamita con perline «Simbolo d'amore»

“Love symbol” is a heart built from a symmetrical floral pattern.

What the picture shows

The heart shape is made by a mirrored ornament: a star-like flower in the centre with petals radiating from it, rising into two rounded lobes above and meeting in a point below. Dark blue beads fill the core and the inner petals, white ones run along the outer edge and mark the tips. A printed crimson-pink pattern with fine tendrils and ears of grain shows through under the beads. The field around is white and empty, so the shape reads clearly. 158 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.
