In spite of the problems with the greys Lyudmyla you are making really good progress on this magnificent work of art. I know you will get to the end of it and love it once again. :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:

While it may have been horrible to work from their chart, I do rather like it :) It reminds me of being on holiday when I was younger and having the buskers going round table to table.

Nor can I. What I do believe is that you have stitched a masterpiece. I'm sure the recipient will absolutely love and cherish this one forever!

The picture is one from the series "Flamenco". I think he is playing the music of the dance. The second chart in the series is a lady-dancer performing Flamenco, with her back to the audience. Judging by the picture, she would be a complete disaster for my eyes- lots of whitish and white -off shades in one strand- full stitches and half stitches. Brrr.

To begin with, her hair looks as if eaten by moth. Her top looks terrible- like an underwear (combinations?) which was in fashion until 1970s. Compare her right and left sleeves! Looks like she was created by a different designer than the guitarist. Anyway, I dont feel like stitching her.
