The light of the world
I bought this HAED last year and it keeps calling me to start it. I went to St.Pauls cathedral yesterday and saw the version there. It was so beautiful that I don't think I can resist much longer. I am hoping that you will all either talk me into or out of starting it

Re: The light of the world
That is going to take a long time to do but it will be well worth it in the end. But what is time for someone so young and beautiful!!!

If it's calling to you that persistently, why resist?

Re: The light of the world
The first thing that came to mind was "Resistance is futile" and took me a while to realize that it is from "Star Trek: Next Generation". But I think the sentiment still applies.

Re: The light of the world
Completely cracked..
To even contemplate doing it as well as the Adoration of the Kings at the same time.
As I said, completely cracked. But if anyone can do it, you can.
All the best,
Richard.

Re: The light of the world
I love that picture. M mum had it in a prayer book of hers & it's always been a favourite of mine. One I thought of stitching it but realise it is too dark for me.
I would like to see you stitch it though as your other work is wonderfully stitched. All the angel s & cherubs so exquisitely worked.

Re: The light of the world
I know your stitching will be beautiful. Being a HaED, I hope the chart is up to it and doesn't disappoint.

Re: The light of the world
Hadn't thought about that.
There are lots of dark areas, and they can be a bit dodgy in dark areas with loss of detail. How recent is the chart? My feeling is ones under 3 years old are less suspect than older ones. Failing that, there is freebie software you could use to chart it with a few hundred blends and it could slow you down a bit so the rest of us feel a little less inadequate.
Regards
Richard.

Re: The light of the world
The chart is a year old so hopefully it will be ok. I just started it last night so not much to see yet. I will post when I have more to show.
