Phoenix Firebird Free-Form Bead Embroidery Kit by VDV TN-1330

A phoenix with outspread golden-orange wings tipped in turquoise and a long curling tail rises from swirling red flames on a dark background.

Why this kit: uses 10/0 beads, cut beads, bugle beads, and other sizes for rich texture and sparkle; the phoenix symbolizes rebirth, strength, and new beginnings; the printed design shows where each run of beads goes, so there is no grid to count.

Kit includes: satin fabric (100% polyester) with the design printed in color, Czech Preciosa beads in 16 colors (91 g), Tytan thread, and a Pony needle. Finished size: 32x42 cm (12.6x16.54 in). Made in Ukraine.

Free-form bead embroidery does not follow a grid: short runs of beads are stitched along the printed lines and shapes, building raised, textured contours rather than a flat mosaic, which gives the finished piece extra depth and shine.

An expressive project for experienced bead embroiderers and a powerful gift for someone starting over.
