Mini kit calamita con perline «Tazza di tè 1»

“Tea cup – 1” is a peach cup on a saucer with steam rising from it.

What the picture shows

The cup is wide and low with a big round handle, and the drink inside is a warm peach colour. Black beads outline the cup, the saucer and the handle, while amber beads run along the rim and the edge of the saucer and rise in two ribbons of steam. The background is a blue cloth with a small swirl pattern, divided by dark lines into segments like stained glass. The green leaf beside the saucer stays as print. Black outline against clear amber gives the feeling of hot tea. 157 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.
