A beautiful geometrical piece of Japanese Bead Embroidery, designed to introduce and/or extend your knowledge of this beautiful form of embroidery. Incorporating a variety of colours and shapes of quality Japanese Toho glass beads, including the special 3 cut beads, enhanced with Swarovski crystals, this piece will keep you interested from start to finish. Scented with quality Australian Lavender flowers, this sachet will release lovely aromas as it enhances a table or side cupboard. Worked on quality fabric, this piece is an example of how Japanese Bead Embroidery brings the fabric to life. This project covers many basic techniques from individual bead placement and laying of smooth lines to some simple raised techniques and padding.

This kit contains all the beads, threads, needles, fabric, interfacing, pellon and all construction materials (including Australian grown dried lavender), required to complete this project, along with an extensive set of comprehensive notes and step by step photographs of both the beading and construction.
