Lord of the Skies Bald Eagle Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-980

Bead Lord of the Skies, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a bald eagle with spread wings soars past a huge dusky-pink moon, above stylised golden-bronze pine trees and swirling Asian-style clouds on a dark background. Worked with over 8,980 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 17 colours, plus Preciosa microbeads for fine detail.

A little stitcher's folklore: the eagle flies closest to the sun, so in many cultures it's the messenger of the heavens and a symbol of courage, freedom and vision. Stitchers say an eagle on the wall lifts your spirit and helps you see the bigger picture.

Why this kit: if you love majestic wildlife and elegant, Asian-inspired design, this eagle is powerful and refined. A rewarding project for confident beginners and experienced beaders, and a great gift for men, patriots and nature lovers.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 8,980 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 17 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads with a microbead needle, 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 eagle first, then the moon, pines and clouds.

Finished size: 22×39 cm (8.66×15.35 in). Majestic statement wall art.
