It is incredible, awesome and absolutely beautifully stitched. You are so close to its finish now!

Happy stitching!

This is getting on so well, great to see another update!

Oh my goodness, Vanessa you amaze me.

This is so beautiful and beautifully stitched

Your patience and skill in stitching such a large project is mind-blowing, and you still have another 10 pages to go.

The colours from the light are so rich and the whole piece is so atmospheric.

Amazing, simply amazing.

Totally amazing and so gorgeous.

Only 10 more pages, WOW you really are getting oh so close to the end. Are you looking forward to that stage or will you miss it heaps? A fabulous update.

Yes i will really miss it even though I am really excited about finishing it. I just really love this picture.

Your stitching is just fabulous. I must admit that I really didn't like it at first, having not been acquainted with this version of the painting, but I see the draw now and you've done it justice. Excellent!

Vanessa that is amazing the way the light shines and lights up the surrounding areas, it is hard to tell it is stitching it is so realistic, thank you so much for sharing this project with us xx

This is superb.

Wow!!! What a masterpiece!!! So very brilliantly stitched!! Almost there!!

I completely agree.

Vanessa this is absolutely wonderful, the warmth of the light shines out (which is rather the point) the neatness of your stitches on a project this size is astounding.

and now you're on the last row at the speed you stitch you will have this finished in no time.

Everything about this is amazing, the sheer size, the warmth, the colours, the speed of your stitching and how lovely and neat your stitches are. Astounding and outstanding.


How will you finish this Vanessa? Will it be framed?

Do you have your next project in mind?

Thank you for your kind comments, it really means a lot to me.
Yes I would like to get this one framed because I really love this painting. As for my next project I will be going back to my Golden kite called The adoration of the kings. It is much bigger than this one and I still have 154 pages to go out of 252.

It's looking beautiful!
How tall is it?

Your work is truly breathtaking, Vanessa.
When you update, it is always a BIG update too.

Where will you display this wonderful stitching in your home?

Simply stunning!! I can't believe how quickly you are stitching this!! Nearly finished now!!!

Vanessa, I am taking off my hat to your skill and patience. No words, pure admiration. I cant believe what a great job you have done on it and actually so fast. Happy stitching!
