Here's some REAL map-stitching...
« on: March 21, 2009, 06:49:16 pm »
As in, actual "needle-pulling-thread" cross-stitching:



Super Mario Bros. 3 - World 1 map

The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past - Light World map

The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening (DX?) - Koholint map

The Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages - Labrynna (Present) map



Of course, The Legend Of Zelda's title screen looks pretty good too.



The awesome thing about pixel art is that it can be applied to cross-stitching, quiltwork, those beady things, LEGO and PixelBlocks so easily.

Pretty nifty. Seems like it would take a long, long time.

Seems that site has a lot of stuff, not just stitching.  Here's a Metroid quilt.



EDIT: Hey, they're for sale.  Sweet.

EDIT: Aw, it's no longer on sale.  Never mind.  But it looks like some Perler bead creations are available...

I did the cafe scene from River City Random.  It took a while and it was only a 62x62 design.

Sweet! You've got the talents for cloth crafting as well as map crafting. Such souvenirs would be very popular for collectors.



All I did in sewing was some pin cushions, a couple of pouches and three cushions, using cloth material readily provided and assembling it together with tiny accurate stitches.

Cross-stitching is the easiest thing in the world.  It's just time consuming.  As for other stuff, I don't even know how to sew a button back on my pants!

So now we've proved that everyone on the internet is a guy, now we're proving they all do needlework?



(I gave it up about 15 years ago myself.)

After you are done looking at the cross stitch work, check out the shirt.  It has to be the most hilarious thing I have seen in a while.  Pure awesome.



The entire site is neat though.  It's nice to see video game sprites getting a little recognition.  (Even if they are homemade goods.)

That last move on the shirt looks difficult to pull out though :)

Are you kidding? I can do the last one without breaking a sweat. It's the first three that give me problems. :P

Must be a pain to move that thing without it breaking.
