Mini kit calamita con perline «Tappeto di fiori»

“Flower carpet” is a large purple spiral rose on an ornamental panel.

What the picture shows

A rose curled into a spiral sits in the centre, its petals marked by a row of purple beads running from the middle outwards. Smaller flowers of the same beads — four or five each — are scattered around, along with green leaves and shoots worked in matt green beads. The ground is divided: a cream field with a fine black plant drawing in the middle and a deep blue border at the edges. The grape clusters and tendrils stay as print. 161 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.
