Hydrangeas in Porcelain Blue Vase Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-975

Bead Hydrangeas in Porcelain, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a lush bouquet of blue, periwinkle and champagne hydrangeas with dried grasses fills a cobalt-blue porcelain vase with white lace detail, in the style of a classic painted still life. Worked with over 7,660 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 22 colours.

A little stitcher's folklore: in the language of flowers hydrangeas stand for heartfelt gratitude, and a vase of flowers on the table was an old sign of a welcoming, abundant home. Stitchers say a bouquet that never fades keeps gratitude and grace in the house.

Why this kit: if you love elegant, classic interiors, this blue-and-white still life is timeless and beautiful. A rewarding project for confident beginners and experienced beaders, and a lovely thank-you or housewarming gift.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 7,660 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 22 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. Bead the vase first, then the hydrangea heads and grasses.

Finished size: 22×29 cm (8.66×11.42 in). Classic still-life wall art.
