"The Chess Game" 10/02/08

It's update day, and i wanted to give a few more detail about this project: first, and very important, the number of pages - 90 total!!! There are many people who say I'm not going to end it ever, but I'll try hard for that not to happen. For now, thought slowly, I'm doing great: I've already done the first row of pages, 10, and did the upper half part of the next 10 pages. As i started it on December 2005, i'll have at least more 10 years ahead... But i have to confess that I'm happier every day with the results: the amount of detail, the beautiful colors, amazing! And I'm almost reaching the tiles, anxious to begin to stitch some blue colors!
About the size: it has 498 stitches horizontally, and 667 vertically which means it will be huge - about 75 cm per 100 cm... almost the size of a rug...and lots of different colors. There are 160 colors, 80 solid and 80 blended, and that's why the result is so amazing!
Well, without more talk, here i post the picture of my last update:
