Wzór do haftu koralikowego na kanwie artystycznej (bez koralików) „Rozkwit”

“Heiday” shows a woman from behind whose gown turns into an enormous flowering train spread across half the canvas.

What the picture shows

The background is deep, almost blue-black, and vertical strings of gold and green dots fall through it from top to bottom like rain or the threads of a beaded curtain. At the centre is the slender back of a girl, shoulder blades bare, a flower pinned in her gathered hair. From her waist the train opens out: roses, asters, peonies, daisies, ferns and wavy ribbons of lilac, mint, raspberry and lime. On the right an arc of blue and violet petals sweeps upward. Beading is partial: the flowers, the ribbons, the falling lines and the figure itself are worked in beads, while the dark night ground between them stays printed on the canvas.

The piece is square and hard to overlook: the dark ground makes the colours glow, so it wants a light wall and a little space around it.
