Beadwork on Purse (Tech. demonstration)

Harriette Gale

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a partially completed embroidery project on a white background. The piece features vibrant houses, trees, and geometric patterns in pink, yellow, red, blue, and green colors created with meticulous cross-stitching. Some sections remain in pencil outlines, awaiting further embroidery. The contrast between the colorful embroidered areas and the unfinished, sketched sections creates visual interest.
