Miracle of India Indian Elephant Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-587

Bead Miracle of India, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a majestic Indian elephant is dressed in festival finery: a jewelled headdress, mandala patterns and flowers in pink, orange, turquoise and violet, with beaded tassels and blossoms all around. Worked with over 8,000 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: in India the elephant is sacred to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, and an elephant facing the door is said to bring luck, wisdom and prosperity into the home. Stitchers say this elephant clears the way for every new beginning.

Why this kit: if you love rich colour and exotic patterns, this elephant is a joyful explosion of detail. A rewarding project for confident beginners and experienced beaders, and a meaningful good-luck gift.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 8,000 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads, 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. Bead the elephant's headdress and patterns first, then the body and flowers around it.

Finished size: 30×30 cm (11.81×11.81 in). Vibrant wall art and a good-luck gift.
