Colored Tail Paisley Peacock Mini Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AM-187

Bead Colored Tail, a mini bead embroidery kit by Abris Art - a stylised blue peacock curls in the corner while its tail spills out in a glorious fan of paisleys, little flowers and swirls in red, pink, orange, teal and white on a light blue background. Worked with over 2,090 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 13 colours.

A little stitcher's folklore: in India the peacock is a bird of beauty and good fortune, and paisley - the "mango" or "teardrop" motif - stands for life and plenty. Stitchers say a paisley peacock fills the home with colour and luck.

Why this kit: if you love bright, joyful colour, this little peacock is a party of pattern - quick to finish and hard to put down. Great for beginners and a cheerful small gift.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 2,090 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 13 colours, Japanese beading needles, beading thread, and instructions with a printed colour key. Frame not included.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Bead the peacock first, then the paisleys and flowers of its tail.

Finished size: 15x15 cm (5.9x5.9 in). Colourful small wall art and a cheerful gift.
