This counted cross stitch bookmark kit recreates a section of The Kiss, Gustav Klimt's famous 1907-08 painting of two lovers wrapped in gold, patterned robes. Stitched in DMC embroidery floss, the shimmering golds and jewel-toned mosaic details make a striking bookmark for any art lover's favorite book.

This kit is made by DMC, the French thread maker that has been producing embroidery floss since the 18th century. Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter and a leading figure of the Vienna Secession, and The Kiss comes from his celebrated "Golden Period."

Kit includes:

• 14-count Aida fabric in 100% cotton, 15 x 30 cm (5.9 x 11.8 in)
• DMC six-strand embroidery floss, pre-sorted on a thread organizer
• Two backing cards for finishing your bookmark
• Embroidery needle
• Instructions in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Japanese

Finished bookmark measures approx. 2 x 6.8 in (5.2 x 17.5 cm). With full coverage and frequent color changes, this design is a rewarding project for stitchers with some cross stitch experience.
