This counted cross stitch tapestry has 140 colors and its size is 50 x 62 cm. I used coats-puppets threads and canvas that has 100 points per squared centimeter.

Welcome to the forum. You're a top notch experienced stitcher to have done a beautiful piece. That's a lot of work. Noticed you gridded your cloth prior to stitch work done. Nice job done, she's a beauty.

Thank you all for appreciating my work. The model was one of a kind, custom designed by me for me, there is also a series model with less colors and not as big as this.
This has 50 colors from the Coats-Puppets palette, and its size is 27 x 33.5 cm, the cloth is Zweigart (100 points/squared centimeter).
A friend of mine finished the model designed by me.
Here are some pictures of it:
