You could try downloading a pitcture from Google pictures, blowing it up, and then charting it with some cross-stitch software.
you must haave found the same kit I did. I had to read it several times to make sure it wasn't a COMPLETED tapestry for that amount! I'm not sure if you saw the suggestion that bad deb provided, but I have communicated with her and it looks like that might be a go. if it works well, I may start on some Waterhouse pieces next!

and happy birthdays, finger crossings and kitty snuggles where appropriate
