300th blog post and the neverending Gunther

Wow!  When I started blogging, I thought that I'd probably do it once in a while and then my postings would dwindle away.  Instead, I seem to be catching my second wind.

And Gunther seems to be a project that just won't go away, like stickum on my fingers.  Here's my progress:

 I chuckle when I look at this photograph--it looks like Gunther is leaning to the left, rather unsteadily.  I think the culprit is that I held the camera askew because I don't get that feeling when I look at the canvas "in person". 

I included this photo in hopes that the black stitching would be more obvious.  It really is a bear to see to stitch.
