Michelangelo in Cross Stitch

Posted by Miss Cellania in Arts & Crafts on August 1, 2008 at 11:49 am



Joanna Lopianowski-Roberts recreated Michelangelo’s painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in cross-stitch! Ten years of labor are now committed to a 40×80 cloth containing over 600,000 stitches. The results, and patterns you can use to do it yourself, are in a self-published book. There is a Yahoogroup of cross-stitchers who are working on their own versions, using Lopianowski-Roberts’ patterns. Link -via Nag on the Lake

    Now I know what I'll regret not doing when I'm on my deathbed!

    Or not.

    Wow.

    I like the approximation "about 628,296 stitches".

    I wonder if she drew the penises, too?

    Wonder if they will cross stitch themselves a life next.

    i'd imagine this is the lion cloth edited version so there's a lot less nudity.
