Michelangelo in Cross Stitch

By Miss Cellania in Art on Aug 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
