Astrid. Cats

The image is a cross-stitch rendering of a Persian cat. The cat is the focal point, occupying most of the frame. It is presented in a seated position, its body slightly angled to the left. The cat's fur is depicted with a variety of light pastel shades: creams, light beige, soft lavender grays, and hints of light peach/apricot on its head and ears. The gradient of colors creates a fluffy, textured effect characteristic of the Persian breed's long coat.
The cat's eyes are large, round, and a warm amber color. Its expression is calm and somewhat pensive, direct gaze towards the viewer. The cat's nose and mouth are clearly defined, enhancing the realistic effect. The paws are tucked slightly beneath its body. The background is a simple, even light blue. The background is not distracting and allows the cat to stand out prominently. The overall atmosphere and mood are serene and peaceful, reflecting the calm expression of the cat and the soft color palette.
The style is realistic and detailed despite the cross-stitch medium. The uniformity of the background coupled with the soft color tone creates a tranquil mood. The image has a gentle, charming quality, suitable for a craft project that evokes feelings of peace and quiet. This image is 200x200 stitches. The image is split into 12 separate charts with symbols to represent the colours used for the stitches.  Both coloured and black and white versions of the charts are included to allow you to choose whichever chart you find easiest to follow personally.
DMC floss chart is included.
