A sweet-shop scene: three curious kittens among jars of colourful candy, lollipops and a candy cart, built up one drill at a time following the symbol chart printed on the canvas. You peel back a small section of film, pick up the drills with the applicator pen and press them onto the sticky surface – repetitive, relaxing work, though 70 colours and a canvas this large call for a methodical approach.
Square drills sit side by side with no gaps and give crisp lines, which suits the fine detail of this design. A frame is not included: once finished, press the surface with a roller or a heavy book, then mount the canvas on stretcher bars or have it framed, making the most of the wavy edge.
