Giveaway: FF7 Gold Saucer Tourism Poster
The text "Meet Me at the Gold Saucer" frames our very good boy Cait Sith as he and his moogle leap in celebration. The background features the mushroom-like structure of FF7 Rebirth's Gold Saucer, bursts of fireworks, and some not-alarming-at-all claws reaching up from the desert.
A close-up of Cait Sith, a tuxedo kitty rendered in a dark purple, with shimmery gold-yellow highlights. He's happily leaping on the head of his moogle plush, a very good bat-marshmallow friend. The characters' design closely follows the original FF7 concept art by Tetsuya Nomura.
A closer look at the Gold Saucer and its' glittering lights. Layers of yellow and purple paint build up the glow effect of hundreds of tiny windows, finished with metallic silver for a little extra sparkle.

The professional-grade watercolour paints and 100% cotton rag paper ensure this painting can be enjoyed for years to come.
This piece is shipped un-framed for safety, and is designed to fit a standard 16 x 20 inch frame. Please note this craft is not machine washable.

Brenna has always loved watercolour art, but didn’t “get” it for a long time. In the last six years or so has she overcome the baffling highschool feedback “you used too much water” to really dig into the medium. She also sews, gardens, and snuggles her very good calico Moriarty.
