Gothic Circus Diamond Painting Kit – The Winter Big Top | 55x55cm Full Drill, Round Drill

Gothic Circus — The Winter Big Top | 55x55cm (22x22in) Full Drill, Round Drill

Twenty-one colors. Most of them are dark, and that is the whole trick.

A black-and-white striped big top trimmed in red ribbon, lamplight glowing in the dark, a path winding away through fresh snow.

Twenty-one colors, DMC 225 through 3865AB — a small palette by our standards, and deliberately so. This design does its work with black, white, red, and the narrow band of greys between them. The snow is not white; it is four or five near-whites doing the job of moonlight. Get them in the right places and the canvas glows. That is the entire design.

Which also makes it forgiving. Fewer colors means fewer chart checks, long runs through the striped canvas and the dark sky, and an evening where your hand knows what to do.

About fifty hours.

What you are actually buying. Not a circus tent. The evenings — hands busy, tray full, light on over the table, phone in the other room because you cannot pick it up with wax on your fingers.

The canvas is the receipt.

About the drills. Customers have never asked for more drills, but if you need them, we will provide them. Kits come overpacked because the alternative is you, at eleven at night, short of a color, with nothing to do about it. Every bag sealed, numbered, DMC code printed on the front — which matters here, because the near-whites in that snow are almost indistinguishable in a tray and completely different on the wall.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

• Pre-printed adhesive canvas, 55x55cm (22x22in), with a readable symbol chart
• Round drills, full drill. Every bag sealed, numbered, and printed with its DMC code
• More drills than the canvas calls for
• Drill pen, wax pad, tweezers, grooved tray
• Instructions

HOW IT GETS TO YOU

Every canvas is unfolded, rolled, and re-bagged by hand before it leaves here. Then it ships in a box, not an envelope. That is slower and it costs more. We do it because a canvas that spends a week folded in a mailer is a canvas you fight for every hour you work on it.

Tracked shipping from the studio in Western North Carolina.

IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG

Customers have never asked for more drills, but if you need them, we will provide them. Run short, lose a color, drop a bag in the sink — I send more, no charge, no argument.
