STUNNING piece! This just shimmers in the light.

Black
Green- several shades

I am not familiar with the story the artist is telling - looks like a nature-based pattern, or maybe the migration of a butterfly on its journey(?)
Floral - Leaves - Butterfly - Red Birds or Flowers at top, the black beads seem to imply a path, water or air on the right side, earth on the left side (?) I would absolutely love to have this interpreted.
Has been in a frame and is in EXCELLENT condition with no loose or missing beads.
Unfinished bag panel on canvas, I believe was done using the Overlay stitch - see photos.
Canvas is 10 1/2" by 10"
Beadwork 8 1/2" by 8"
