About this pattern

A copper airship cruises to the right, seen side-on. The long cigar envelope is lit paler orange along the top and shaded darker below, with a few darker seam lines and an upright brass band near its nose. Two swept brass tail fins stand at the back. Below, a brass gondola with three pale blue portholes hangs on two gray struts, and a pale gray two-blade propeller turns on a short gray shaft at the gondola's stern. Dark brown outline throughout. No lettering. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 36 stitches and uses ten thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 36 high: 1,139 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Copper 921, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red Copper 919 and 7 more).
