Ever Wanted to Create Something Like This?
Have you ever caught yourself gazing at a piece of art and wishing you could craft it with your own hands? Imagine the gentle click of beads sliding onto your needle, the soft ritual of counting stitches, and the quiet pride that fills your heart as each row reveals Klimt’s iconic Golden Tears in miniature shimmering form. Whether you’re seeking a meditative slow-living ritual, a meaningful gift for someone special, or simply an afternoon of cozy creativity, this pattern makes it possible. Let’s explore how you can transform colored Delicas into a stunning wall tapestry that radiates warmth and thoughtful craftsmanship.
What You’ll Create
Golden Tears by Klimt (Anne-Marie Zilberman) is a bead tapestry pattern in delicate peyote stitch. When you’re done, you’ll have a 6.8-inch by 9.8-inch miniature masterpiece: a cascade of golden droplets framed in clean lines, reminiscent of Gustav Klimt’s brilliant palette. The finished piece glows as light catches each Miyuki Delica bead, turning your crafting corner into a gallery-worthy display. Beyond its visual allure, this project delivers a sense of calm focus. Each bead you pick and place draws you into a peaceful state of flow, making the process as rewarding as the result.

Designed for eco-conscious crafters, it’s a digital download: no plastic packaging, no shipping carbon footprint.
