That looks fantastic! How long does it normally take to make one of these? And - how large are they?

tim, i'd say you are the king of baseball card mosiacs.... did you actually use any Gehrigs in the piece?
Thanks to all! Duane, this one took in te neighborhood of 50 hours. It is 21" x 26". T.rooster, no Gehrig's were harmed in the making of this one.

Tim, very cool and very unique work of art as always, and I had to check hardball times to come up with the following to catch your Larrupin' Lou reference!!
"Perhaps the oddest nickname for Gehrig was used exclusively by the media in the ’20s and ’30s. Writers often called him “Larrupin’ Lou,” a label that sometimes made its way into newspaper and periodical headlines. And what in the world, you might ask, does “larrupin’” mean? Well, it’s a shortening of the word “larruping,” an adjective used in describing the delivery of a blow, especially one executed with great force. Though hardly a common word in the lexicon, it certainly fit Gehrig’s hitting style. He apparently liked the nickname enough to apply it to his own barnstorming team, which he called the “Larrupin’ Lous.”
