Again a few years later :-)
People sometimes ask me if I could give them any
advice about the materials I use, well, I buy everything
what I can find for a giveaway price in thrift stores
and flea markets, and friends often give me their remnants;
this series is embroidered with DMC, that is pretty
expensive, but I also used ordinary knitting cotton,
the threads are composed off 12 fine fibres and
you can pull them off the same way as you do with DMC,
and that makes it much cheaper!
The painting is Brueghel's Tower of Babel.
sorry again for that moiré effect; please double click.
