Kit de point de croix compté « Or bleu – 1 »

“Blue gold-1” shows a betta fish with lavish blue fins.

What the picture shows

The tail and the dorsal fin open into a wide fan that takes up most of the motif: they are worked from pale turquoise to deep blue, with thin light veins radiating out from the body. The body itself is darker, violet-blue, and scattered with golden flecks that read as scales, while the lower fins are narrow with a light blue glow. In the photo small gold beads and sequins are visible on the body and tail — the data for this kit does not list them. Thirteen floss colours carry the shift from cool blue to warm gold. The ground is clear: in the photo it is a white shirt, where the fins look almost transparent. The fish faces downwards while the tail rises towards the upper edge.
