The Kiss Klimt Golden Couple Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-073

Bead a masterpiece of love with The Kiss, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art inspired by Gustav Klimt's famous painting — an embracing couple wrapped in a shimmering golden robe of mosaic patterns, kneeling on a meadow of tiny flowers against a warm bronze background. Worked with over 18,000 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 18 colours.

A little stitcher's folklore: gold has always been the colour of lasting love — it's why wedding rings are made of it — and needleworkers say stitch a couple and love stays. Klimt painted this couple in gold leaf; beaded in glass, stitchers say, their embrace lasts forever.

Why this kit: if you want to create a true heirloom, this is one of the most spectacular kits in the range — thousands of golden beads that glow in any light. It's a big, rewarding project for experienced beaders. A breathtaking wedding or anniversary gift.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 18,000 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 18 colours, a Japanese beading needle, a numbered key chart, and instructions in 8 languages. Beading thread, frame and hoop are not included.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Work the golden robe section by section, then the faces, hands and flower meadow.

Finished size: 30×46 cm (11.81×18.11 in). Heirloom wall art and an unforgettable gift for couples.
