Cross Stitch Kit "Snowman cat"

“Snowman cat” shows three cats building a snowman that looks just like them.

What the picture shows

A large snow head with ears and whiskers stands in the middle of the drift. One cat in a purple jumper and red scarf has climbed onto the shoulders of a striped one to reach higher; a third, grey and in a red scarf, runs up from the right. A bird has already grabbed the snowman's black hat and is carrying it off. The light blue canvas is almost fully covered, the snow stays white, and snowflakes and sparks are worked in Preciosa beads. Eighteen colours over 29 m of floss. Each cat has its own colour and its own clothes, so all three are easy to tell apart in a small scene.

A 150×150 mm piece with a real little scene rather than a single figure. The format suits a child's room; finishing — a hoop, a frame or moulding — is chosen separately and not included. It is better to add the beads after the background is stitched, or they get in the way of counting rows on the blue canvas.
