I love it! And a woodpecker on a tree is an interesting choice since it's not a paper book. :)

Thanks all! By the way, Charley Harper is an illustrator (he's dead). When I said I'd copied his work I meant I turned one of his illustrations into a chart, not that I'd copied/stolen someone else's chart.

It's from this:

Finished last night. The Kindle fits all the way inside, I just have it peeking out for the pic. By the way, finishing isn't my forte. :?

I didn't line it as the half-cross in this type of application covers the entire background.

This project only took about 4 days. The back (Bargello stitch) only took 2 evenings. You'd think that having to fill in the background would make it slower but half-cross seems quicker to me somehow. Maybe because you get your design finished in half the time then the background is just mindless filling in.
