A mermaid seated on a dark rock watching the moon rise over open water, her tail curled beneath her — and the tail is why you’ll want this one. The scales are laid as a true staggered weave: teal, violet, and mint cells in a regular repeating pattern, each scale its own small block, so the whole tail shimmers as you fill it. Her copper hair is the single warm note in a canvas of blues (DMC 824 and 826 alone cover 10,000+ drills of sky and sea — calm, meditative runs), and the moon’s reflection breaks across the water in short white dashes. Back-view, tasteful, quietly romantic. 20 DMC colors.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 141×141 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.

20 DMC colors over 19,881 drills is a mid-complexity build — enough palette changes to stay interesting, not enough to feel like admin. The workload skews blue: 8 of the 20 colors are blue steps, covering 74% of the canvas, with DMC 824 alone accounting for 35% (7,050 drills). 6 accent colors each cover under 1% of the canvas — small bags that carry the highlights, so keep them sorted.

Chart-true by construction
The mockup above is rendered drill-by-drill from the finished chart (19,881 cells, 20 colors — the exact numbers in the tables). The design itself was drawn natively on the drill grid by our production design engine, in a real, ledgered Design Jobs run — the exact job and attempt are named in this kit’s provenance record. The engine painted a 200×200 working grid, its pixel lattice was recovered cell-for-cell, and this 141×141 window was copied out whole-cell — no resampling, no padding — with every color mapped to a real DMC code. What you approve is what gets printed. Each kit is made to order —
printed, picked, and packed when you buy, MOQ 1.
