You could cross-stitch the Sistine Chapel ceiling!
(Of course, it might take longer than the summer – say 10 years, for the woman who stitched it and created the pattern.)
From the reader/blogger who sent it in:
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel Ceiling in Cross-stitch , a new self-published book by Joanna Lopianowski-Roberts, shows the fruit of the author’s 10-year project to replicate the images of the ceiling. Lopianowski-Roberts has assembled a whole set of the patterns she created for other stitchers (who have formed a Yahoo group) to follow. More background here and a few pics here.
Link thanks to Jeff’s Space and Time, who has compiled quite a dossier on Lulu, the print-on-demand outfit (from the same guy who brought us Red Hat Linux) the author used.
I see that Boing Boing spotted the book months ago, but it’s time for St Blogs to see this!
