I came across this video and I was caught up firstly by the oodles of spools of beautiful brightly colored threads!!!
It is reported that it took 2 months to make this video and also:
10 000 photos
1 km of thread
350 reels of thread (I wonder what he did with all that thread when he was done!!)
73 000 embroidery stitches
6 kg of scraps of fabric
100 needles and sewing pins
