I'm afraid I'm going to rant a little about this kit - I ran out of the metallic thread used to highlight part of the design, and there's no indication on the kit what it was. The company just confirmed that the kit was discontinued ... I'm not profligate with thread, so heaven help those that aren't as economical... In the end, because I couldn't match the gold, I used a black metallic, which works okay, although there was already some black back stitch in the design. I could have frogged all the existing gold and replaced it, but it would have taken too long for my impatient heart!
That said, it was a nice kit to stitch, the colours are simple but work well, and I think it's more interesting - and stylish - than a lot of other designs on the market. But then again, I think Gustav Klimt is a genius...
