Girl with a Watering Can - Pierre Auguste Renoir REN015 pattern info
		Hallie Wake, Pleasanton, California 18-count aida February 21, 2010 “I made Girl with a Watering Can by Renoir using 18 count Aida and had it framed at Aaron Brothers. It's a gift for my mom and now I just need to figure out how to get it to her!”
Anemones and Lilacs in a Blue Vase - Odilon Redon RED005 pattern info
		Hallie Wake, Pleasanton, California  More pictures 18-count aida February 21, 2010 “I made Anemones and Lilacs in a Blue Vase by Odilon Redon into a pillow, using 18 count Aida. I used the sewing method and it took me about four months of stitching about 4-5 hours a day. (The "sewing method" is when you make the needle go down and back up in one motion so that your sewing hand stays on top of the fabric; and the "stabbing method" (not the most pleasant name!) is when you push the needle to the back, bring your hand around to the back to pull it through, then push the needle up to the front again in a separate motion. I have always used the sewing method whenever possible, i.e. when there are several stitches of the same color close together. It's twice as fast when I can keep my hand on top and go down and up in one stitch. But I guess you can't do that when you have your work on a frame since you need to bend the fabric enough to get the needle through. I was worried that not using a frame would mean the final product would come out lumpy but it doesn't, especially when it is put into a decorative frame at the end. I hold a single dowel in my left hand with the left edge of the Aida fabric wrapped around it while I sew with my right hand from right to left.)”
Nova Orbis Tabula - Frederick de Wit DWI001 pattern info
		Hyon Sorensen, Killeen, Texas 14-count white aida February 20, 2010 “I finished Nova Orbis Tabula - Frederick de Wit on January 31, 2010. It took me 13 months. I used gold metal floss to border. I'm proud of myself and I enjoy to do cross stitching. Thank you for your wonderful patterns.”
		Nona Mitchell, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin  More pictures 18-count aida “It has taken about one year to do the first two rows. This is about the most detailed one I have done so far. Of course, each row consists of seven page patterns across, so that is 14. Takes about a month (or a little less) to do each pattern page.”
All is Vanity - Charles Allan Gilbert GIL001 pattern info
		Marita Ide, Germany 18-count gridded aida February 21, 2010 “Here a picture from "All is Vanity". I have stitched 60 hours. In a day only one hour, because I don't want to make a mistake!”
		Chelsea U., Birmingham, Alabama  More pictures 18-count natural colored aida “Just sending you guys the newest image of All is Vanity. She’s very pretty, and the subtle shading is simply amazing!”
The Sense of Sight - Annie Louise Swynnerton SWY001 pattern info
		Laura, Maryland 28-count evenweave February 11, 2010 “Here is a picture of my progress so far. I started Oct. 1st 2009. This is the Sense of Sight by Annie Louise Swynnerton, and I am using 28 count evenweave. I stitch over 1 and have chosen the blending method of stitching with a single strand of floss of one color and going back to complete the x with a single strand of a different color. I fell in love with the angels facial expressions, and I hope I can turn others onto this beautiful piece of artwork.”
Still Life of Flowers and Fruits II - Eugene-Adolphe Chevalier CHE002 pattern info
		May Wah  More pictures 16-count aida February 11, 2010 “Had to stop the Still Fruits and Flowers since September to Paris and Wuhan and to complete other works. Have recommenced in December 2009 and hope to complete by mid March.”
		Natalia Perfilieva, Russia 18-count aida “"Still Life of Flowers and Fruits" I & II took about 8-9 months each (could be faster but time was spent in facebook :))”
Rosa centifolia Anglica rubra - Pierre-Joseph Redoute RED001 pattern info
		Peter Moberly, Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada 32-count white linen February 10, 2010 “Attached is a just finished Rosa centifolia Anglica rubra (2 am).

I purchased the White Water Lilies from one of your dealers and will be starting that soon and I have been looking thru your patterns for something new.”
		Gabriela Wolek, Germany 36-count linen
		Natalia Perfilieva, Russa “This was my first picture which I made from your site.”

		Elizabeth McLoughlin 32-count black Belfast linen February 5, 2010 “Here is the beginning of the "Earth from Space" piece. I checked your website and I don't find any photos of the piece underway. So here's my start. Thanks again for the great patterns and wonderful website.”

		Elizabeth McLoughlin, San Francisco, California  More pictures 36-count Wichelt linen - color: French Lace February 5, 2010 “Here is the completed pelican before going to the framer.”
		Kate Tanner  More pictures 32-count white Belfast linen June 7, 2009 “Here is finished Pelican, really pleased with the end result, Belfast Linen was a little harder to work with, but feel the finished product was well worth the effort.”
Circe Invidiosa - John William Waterhouse WAT014 pattern info
		Emma (emmadragon), Huncote, UK 18-count dove gray aida February 1, 2010 “Here is Circe after one month of stitching. The first page of chart is complete, and the second one started. It has been very..well...brown, for want of a better description! The next page has the top of Circe's head, so hopefully it will be more interesting. It will probably be another three month's stitching before I get onto her face and upper body, when the lovely blues will start to appear. I'm putting her away now, for a month of Michelangelo's Last Judgement and then back to the Bird of God. It will be April before I pick her up again.”
The Swing - Jean-Honore Fragonard FRA002 pattern info
		Nadin Burgomistrenko, Kyiv, Ukraine 16-count aida January 28, 2010 “The Swing - Jean-Honore Fragonard. I live in Ukraine and I am a fan of your patterns. I have already embroidered one picture, now in work Irises - Claude Monet.”
		Sandra Taylor, Richmond, Virginia 18-count white aida “This is the result of 4 completed pages of this pattern. I started this about six months ago. My realistic goal is to finish this in two years. Since I work full time and have a toddler, my time available to stitch is very limited. I have to say that this website has the best patterns, period. I’m very pleased with the results, just wish I had more time to stitch. :)”
Cluny Tapestry Rabbit UNK014-D pattern info
		Christiane Stevens, Martha's Vineyard  More pictures 18-count aida January 26, 2010 “Here is a picture of the Cluny tapesteries rabbit, which I made for a Xmas present to my daughter's boss. It came out beautifully. My daughter is the one on the left.”
Type of Beauty - James-Jacques-Joseph Tissot TIS002 pattern info
		Pina Martin, Toronto, Ontario, Canada  More pictures 28-count aida with 1 strand of floss January 26, 2010 “I realized going through your gallery that I had not sent you a photo since October of 2007 of the completed framed project Type of Beauty - James-Jacques-Joseph Tissot which I finished back in November 2007. Everyone who has seen it thinks it's a painting. You get great results on 28 count. Since then I have completed another, now I'm searching for my next.”
Monarch of the Glen - Sir Edwin Landseer LAN001 pattern info
		Barry Potter, Barnsley, Yorkshire, UK 28-count white Jubilee evenweave January 19, 2010 “My finished Monarch of the Glen. Started February 2008. Finished January 2010.”
		Fiona Young, Queensland, Australia 14-count cream aida “Well I have finally finished! I ordered the pattern "Monarch of the Glen" as an everyday present (ie. Christmas, Birthday, Easter etc until finished) for a friend. It has taken me a year.”
Echinocereus Polyacanthus - Margaret Armstrong ARM001 pattern info
		Mindy Jones, Tucson, Arizona  More pictures 18-count aida January 18, 2010 “Here's Echinocereus polyacanthus! I'm very proud and thrilled with how it turned out and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scarlet Quince patterns to anyone.”
The Horses of Neptune - Walter Crane CRA001 pattern info
		Sally Bristol, Smithfield, Virginia  More pictures 18-count aida January 2, 2010 “Here is an updated picture of Horses of Neptune. I am now halfway done. It looks gorgeous!! Pictures really do not do it justice.”
Bird of God - Joanna Boyce BOY001 pattern info
		Emma (emmadragon), Huncote, UK  More pictures 14-count aida December 31, 2009 “Well, this is the last picture for a little while. I'll be putting the Bird away for two months to work on Circe and The Last Judgement. I do think she is going really well, and as you can see I am well on the way through the second page. Hopefully she'll only take another month and a bit, and then I can start another one!”
		Vibeke Olason  More pictures 18-count ecru aida “Here is a photo of my first SQ project after having a frame fitted. The couple who runs the shop where I had it done was totally delighted, and said it was the best cross stitch project they had ever seen. It ended up with a double frame and three different mats. There is an auburn mat closest to the image, then a narrow mahogany frame with golden "dots", then a beige mat, a grey linen mat, and the finally the outer frame with carved ornaments. This adds a wonderful depth to the picture. It is almost like the little angel is peeping through a window to look at us rather than the other way around. I am currently working on "Miranda", and more photos will follow. Thank you for supplying us with such wonderful projects to work on, it’s really hard to choose, you just want to do them all!”
Lady with Unicorn: A Mon Seul Desir UNK014 pattern info
		Julie in Eugene, Oregon  More pictures 22-count aida with 2 strands of floss December 31, 2009 “This is the update as of November, three pages worth. Had to take a break for some commission work and to get a couple quilts done. Back at it now though!”
The Creation of Adam (detail without background) - Michelangelo Buonarroti BUO001-DB pattern info
		David Jenks, Littleton, Colorado 16-count aida December 28, 2009 “Here is the photo of my completed work, on 16ct Aida. I started this in August and finished just in time for Christmas. Many thanks to SQ for providing such interesting and accessible patterns!”
Saint Agatha UNK025 pattern info
		Nancy Fritsche, Monroe, Louisiana 18-count December 28, 2009 “I have finished St. Agatha and just started on Colored Forms I (August Macke). Here is the St. Agatha picture I finished for my daughter-in-law for Christmas.”
Madonna and Child - Marianne Stokes STO002 pattern info
		Nancy Fritsche, Monroe, Louisiana 18-count December 28, 2009 “I am finally able to send the finished product to you. I absolutely love your products. Leaving off the background was not difficult. Just had to make an adjustment for the halo on each figure. I am donating the Madonna to the chapel at the high school where I spent 35 years teaching and from which both of my sons graduated.”
Fishbowl Fantasy - Edward Goodes GOO001 pattern info
		Jean Naciuk, Calgary, Canada 18-count aida December 16, 2009 “I would like to thank you for your wonderful pattern. Yes, I finally finished it and all the comments that I got were all starting with Wow! I included a jpg of the finished product before I framed it to show the hardworking staff that yes, people really do use the patterns. As a note, I will be framing and submitting this picture to the Calgary Stampede next year so lots of people can see what wonderful patterns are available for cross stitch.”
		Nona Mitchell, Madison, Wisconsin 16-count aida “This Fishbowl Fantasy took 17 months 2 weeks to complete. It was my second Scarlet Quince project and I enjoy cross stitching - addicted is probably a good word for me. Did enjoy it with all the little things it contained, from people & a house inside the fishbowl to a feather, cross, etc. It was different.”
Dancers in Pink - Edgar Degas DEG002 pattern info
		Lucile Favre, Toulouse, France 18-count aida with 2 strands of floss December 16, 2009 “I send you for the gallery my picture of "Danseuses en rose" Edgar Degas. I stitched it on aida 18 count with two strands. I am very proud of it !!”
		Stacie Martin, Fort Wayne, Indiana 16-count aida “I had so much fun stitching Degas’ “Dancers in Pink”. This project took me around 2 years to complete (on and off), and is the most extensive pattern that I have ever done. The photo doesn’t do it justice, this picture really “pops” in person. I wish you could feel how heavy this picture was when I was done. It was like a thick tapestry. Absolutely fabulous. I have just started “The Mirror” by Sir Frank Dicksee which I won from the pattern suggestions. Don’t have much of it completed, but as always am very impressed with the pattern.”
Take the Fair Face of Woman - Sophie Gengembre Anderson AND001 pattern info
		Vibeke Olasen  More pictures 22-count white aida December 14, 2009 “Here is a picture of The Fair face of Woman with its finished frame. I love the leafy frame, but I am less happy with the matting. The colour of the mat sort of drowns both the frame and the picture, don’t you think?”
La Belle Dame Sans Merci (detail) - Sir Frank Dicksee DIC001-D pattern info
		Vibeke Olasen 22-count white aida December 14, 2009 “Here is an update on my progress on La Belle Dame Sans Merci. I am working on 22 count white Aida, and am a little more than half way done. This is a very nice pattern to work on and not too bad when it comes to confetti areas. This is my 4th SQ so far, but my wish list is for ever expanding as new and lovely patterns turn up.”
Autumn Cider Pressing - George Henry Durrie DUR008 pattern info
		A. J. Gowers 18-count aida December 7, 2009 “This was worked on 18 count Aida over one square. It took 3000+ hours over 2 1/2 years. Might interest you as I am a ninety-one year old male cross stitcher.”
Jacob and Rachel - William Dyce DYC001 pattern info
		Carol Tutt, Texas  More pictures 14-count cream aida December 2, 2009 “I worked on this piece for 4-1/2 years and kept visualizing what it was going to look like on the wall in my living room above an antique sideboard. Faith became sight today -- it now hangs on my wall and is exquisitely beautiful. I used cream colored 14 ct. aida and enjoyed every stitch I took. I have now started another of your patterns -- this one for a dear friend.”
Merry Old Santa Claus - Thomas Nast NAS001 pattern info
		Cappie Evans  More pictures 36-count ivory linen stitched over 2 December 1, 2009 “I selected this pattern "Merry Old Santa Claus" because the face reminds me of my brother. He collects Santa Claus figures that he finds at craft fairs etc. He only chooses those where he has been able to meet the crafts person. My two passions are cross stitch and quilting. So -- when I completed the cross stitch which is on 18 count ivory linen I finished it with a hand quilted frame. The words Merry Christmas are quilted around the frame. The piece from start to completion took me a year and a half. I only stitch at night while watching videos. I love your patterns, only wish there were 72 hours or more in each day so I could complete more of them.”
		Julie Hedley, England 20-count Bellano “This was a pleasure to stitch, really pleased with the finished result, can’t praise your charts enough, thank you, and keep them coming!&rdquo
The Torn Hat - Thomas Sully SUL001 pattern info
		Larry Pocock, Titusville, Florida  More pictures November 20, 2009 “An update on Thomas Sully's The Torn Hat. It's been 3 and a half months and half way finished. I made the floor stand and can't imagine working without one.”
Eliza Izard (Mrs. Thomas Pinckney, Jr.) - Edward Green Malbone MAL001 pattern info
		Anna November 17, 2009 “I live in Russian federation and I am a fan of your patterns. I have already embroidered one picture, now in work SUL001.”
		Gabriela Wolek, Germany  More pictures 18-count aida
Ehret die Frauen - Marianne Stokes STO001 pattern info
		Christine (Divecat), England  More pictures 36-count Belfast linen September 13, 2009 “I thought I’d send a couple of update pictures for Ehret die Frauen. I am using pattern STO001 LG, using 36 count Belfast Linen. A couple of tips which have worked for me are: follow the symbol, rather than parking and double check your counting against other stitches already worked. I have recently converted to using a needle holder [see additional pictures] where the threaded needles are stuck into the DMC Colour Key you so kindly provide and this cuts down the amount of handling the thread on the bobbins are subjected to (and the amount of time spent threading the needle after a symbol change)!”
Gentleman Writing a Letter - Gabriel Metsu MET001 pattern info
		JoAnne Nantz, JoAnne Nantz Needleworks & Framing, Holiday, Florida 28-count Jobelan Pewter with 2 strands of floss, over 2 September 16, 2009 “I used a 28ct. Jobelan Pewter. I stitched over two! Reason being, (1) I have cataracts now and for the past two years they have been getting worse, plus I knew it was going to be hanging up high in the shop for a long time before I bring him home. (I have a big Dutch theme throughout most of the living areas in my home, so he will fit in nicely.) (2) Being that I operate a stitch shop, I needed to prove to some "doubting thomases" that they can stitch ANY pattern on ANY count, etc., etc. It took me 32 months to complete, BUT I stitched about 15 other assorted designs for displays in my shop during this period of time. In addition to all the stitching I do, I also do all the framing for me and the shop - all custom framing- so, I am a busy bee, but I usually am able to put at least 4-7 hours ea. day (and night!! ha!) to do stitching. My email is nantzjm at msn.com -- I never mind answering questions.” (original picture had a light fixture reflected in it -- this is an update without the reflection -- SQ)
My Sweet Rose - John William Waterhouse WAT011 pattern info
		Lani Magby, The Woodlands, Texas  More pictures 18-count aida October 26, 2009 “The pictures are all taken at an angle, and the piece is behind glass, but the colors are pretty true to real life. I stitched it on 18 count Aida. It took about 16 months of stitching to complete, but the results are worth all the work! Thanks for making such wonderful patterns available.”
Miranda - Sir Frank Dicksee DIC002 pattern info
		Heather Aquilino, Northern Virginia 18-count aida October 11, 2009 “This is the first Scarlet Quince pattern I have finished, and I have never been happier with my finished piece. The patterns are easy to follow and stunning in their detail. It is very important that you continue stitching the pattern onto the next page, and do not stitch one page at a time. I did not realize this until I saw my finished piece and there were page lines I cannot get out, no matter how many times I ironed it. I chose a dark wooden frame, because it reminded me the wooden railings of a ship. I am working on Sloop by Winslow Homer next and cannot wait to see how it turns out.”
		Vibeke Olason  More pictures 18-count ecru aida “Here is Miranda in her new frame. I find that the scrolls in the frame go well with the curls in her hair. We decided to leave out the matting on this one, to make it look more like a real painting. (Actually, the matting is hidden under the frame to prevent the glass pane to rest directly on the image. Why that has to be I'm not sure, but they were very insistent in the shop)”
Tea - G. D. Leslie LES005 pattern info
		Connie Warner, Richmond, Virginia  More pictures 18-count aida October 3, 2009 “Here's the latest. Summer has been very busy, but I got alot of stitching done while I was on vacation! This picture is getting huge! I'll be starting on her face very soon.”
Sloop, Bermuda - Winslow Homer HOM003 pattern info
		Larry, Pocock, Titusville, Florida 16-count September 24, 2009 “I finished this and have started Thomas Sully's "The Torn Hat."”
Horse, Lascaux Caves UNK013 pattern info
		A stitcher in Connecticut  More pictures 14-count taupe aida September 20, 2009 “Well, finally, after 4 1/2 years (maybe it only seems like it) it's done even if it wasn't done by last Christmas. When it will be framed is another question. Sending two photos, one when the grid was still on it and one after.”
Young Girls at the Piano (detail) - Pierre Auguste Renoir REN001-D pattern info
		Cheryl Selph 32-count Star Sapphire evenweave, over 2 September 16, 2009
		Sondra Hayes, Gainesville, Florida 18-count ecru aida “This is my first attempt at one of your patterns. This is the detail version of the pattern on ecru 18-count aida cloth. After 4 months work, I have only this much completed. I love the patterns; there are so many I would love to do.”
Lady with Unicorn: Sense of Hearing (smaller) UNK011-S pattern info
		Karen R., Flowery Branch, Georgia  More pictures 22-count aida (hardanger) with 2 strands of floss August 30, 2009 “I just passed the 3-year mark on Sense of Hearing (smaller), though since I work in rotation, in those three years, it's only been worked on about 11 weeks a year. Well, I finally finished the top row of pages!!! I took a picture, and scrolled it up, ready to attack the next row of pages next month! Since I didn't stop at the page edges, I can only guess how many stitches I have - probably around 28,000. I think the next row will go quicker - I lost some time during the first year & a half, trying to make parking work for me; then I gave up and went back to my usual method of following the thread until either the thread or the symbol runs out - and got considerably quicker doing that.”
The Lady of Shalott - John William Waterhouse WAT001a pattern info
		Manja Thessin, Charlotte, NC  More pictures 18-count aida “I’m sending a photo of my project about 1/4th completed. I am still enjoying myself tremendously stitching this pattern.”
A Young Girl Reading - Jean-Honore Fragonard FRA001 pattern info
		Carol Ann, Bancroft, Wisconsin 18-count antique white aida “This is my first Scarlet Quince pattern. I'm so excited to finish the first row and to send in my first picture. It has taken about 6 months. There are so many beautiful patterns on Scarlet Quince. It really inspires me to keep going. I am amazed at how quickly some of the others seem to be able to stitch. I hope to finish the next row in less time now that I have gotten used to working with blended colors. I'm already trying to decide which pattern I want to do next!”
		Christiane Stevens, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts 18-count aida “Here is a picture of the cross stitch I finished and entered in the county fair. As you can see I did very well! I won the lst price and Best in Show. The total was $5.00! But the experience was great, a gentleman called me, he wanted to buy my counted cross stitch for his wife, I think I could have named my price but I could not even think about parting with it. So now it is above our fireplace and it looks great. Just a little anecdote, as my daughter and I were standing near the Fragonard, a lady came up to me and asked me if I had done the painting and what medium did I use? When my Granddaughter l3 yrs, who won lst place in needlepoint, told that lady that the picture was a cross stitch she could not believe it.”
		Fenny Rotem Faber, Israel  More pictures 28-count evenweave “My compliments for everyone at SQ for all the beautiful pictures, I must say it kept me busy for 4 months and don’t feel the need of working at another pattern, which is quite unusual for me. Every page is like an adventure. Have done about 50.000 stitches, which means that it’s about half the pattern done.”
		Roxie Cheng, Philippines 18-count white aida
The Swing (detail) - Jean-Honore Fragonard FRA002-D pattern info
		Sandra Taylor, Richmond, Virginia 18-count white aida July 15, 2009 “I originally started the full sized version of The Swing, which is an absolutely beautiful pattern, but a bit too advanced for me. I am now working on the detailed/smaller version. I just love this pattern and the colors are beautiful.”
The Great Wave off Kanagawa - Hokusai HOK004 pattern info
		Julie in Eugene, Oregon  More pictures 22-count hardanger with 2 strands June 24, 2009 “ I finished The Great Wave a few months ago, but just got it framed last week. I am including a picture. This can complete my series in the gallery! Time line: stitched from August to April. I got it done in time for the kid’s birthday, and her move into a new place. She picked out the frame and we left it with no mat, just the fabric as border (her brother’s suggestion because he said when he tells people that his mother stitched his Waterhouse Narcissus they don’t believe him, until he makes them look closely and see the individual x’s on the material). It looks good, although I can still see too many page break lines (no one else seems to notice, nor care).”
Young Girls at the Piano - Pierre Auguste Renoir REN001 pattern info
		Teresa Jeffries, Sturgis, Mississippi 18-count white aida June 23, 2009 “I finished this some time ago, and wanted to let you know how beautiful it turned out. No one can believe it is cross stitch. I am very proud of this piece. It is the most elaborate thing I have ever done. I am currently working on another piece and will send a completed photo of it when I am done. Thank you so much for such beautiful patterns, and such wonderful service.”

		Sue M., Richfield, Wisconsin  More pictures 18-count antique white aida “After a year's work, I'm pleased to say I've finally completed the first "row" (8 pages) of Monet's The Church at Vernon. It is coming along beautifully! I'm doing this on 18 count antique white aida and the shading/blending of threads are awesome. Like so many of the other stitchers, I wish I had more time to stitch.rdquo;
The Accolade - Edmund Blair-Leighton BLA001 pattern info
		Sarah Hawley, Noosaville, Australia  More pictures 16-count aida April 7, 2009 “I have finally finished the next section of the Accolade so thought I would send a photo update - just about another 4 years until I finish it if I keep stitching this slowly!!! It’s fantastic to stitch and I’m still loving every stitch! Thanks so much for creating such great charts.rdquo;

Each chart was a joy to stitch.”

Each chart was a joy to stitch.”
		MJ Grady  More pictures 18-count white aida “I had the hare framed very simply -- that seemed most in keeping. He has been a big success. My mother-in-law cried when she saw it. A saleswoman asked if it was a favorite pet. She couldn’t believe it when I told her it was needlework! (The gray smudgy places are reflections -- it’s under glass because it’s in my kitchen.)”

		Denise DeBenedetto, Fresno, California  More pictures 22-count white aida March 19, 2009 “Slowly but surely the picture is coming along on Godspeed. This middle row has been the most exciting to stitch by far.”

When I only had the background left, I started a new pattern and saved this for my trips and visits to my mom. It was so convenient just bringing ecru and a hoop and needle. I really loved doing it.

		Mitsuko, Bussum, the Netherlands 16-count aida “This is the result of a week of passionate stitching by a newby. And as you still can see, I have used basting threads to make 'grids' . I left them in the fabric, as I worked on, which -I know now- was totally WRONG, so now I am pulling them out, as I get to them! Naturally I will have to remove every trace of those -green- basting threads, but I will have to think of a good and safe way to do this, so I leave it for the moment! I saw the original 'Sense of hearing' (together with the other 'tapisseries' of this series), years ago at the Cluny Museum in Paris and I was very much touched by its exquisite beauty and its mystery. Copying this work of Art enables me to "experience" every little detail in a unique way!”
