Girl with a Pearl Earring Cat

siamese cat painting thing

This pattern uses a 51 × 63 bead grid with 2,309 beads and 22 listed colors. It is marked as Medium difficulty.

How-To: Start with the heavy black outline to lock in the shape. Work on the large orange clothing blocks first, then carefully place the shading on the cat's face and the blue headscarf. Use tweezers for the tiny white highlight beads on the pearl earrings and eyes.
Use Case: Makes a funny desk display or unique wall decor for art lovers. Needs a sturdy backing or thorough ironing because of the solid pixel block style.

What pegboard should I use for this pattern?

A standard large square pegboard will work fine since the design is a vertical rectangle portrait.

Are the background colors included?

No, this chart features a transparent background around the black outline so you only need to bead the cat portrait itself.
