About this work

This print is packed with tiny, colorful beads stitched into a busy winter scene. A snowy village sits on a hill, dotted with round houses and bare trees. Below, a farmyard shows a horse, a dog, and a person by a well. The edges are framed with flowers and geometric patterns in bright blues, greens, and reds. The artist used beads to create texture—each stitch looks like a pixel, building up the whole image. It’s like a cozy, detailed map of village life in winter.
