My other long stitch works.

Post by cakester »

About this time last year I started to teach myself how to embroider, this was mainly because I wanted to some nes stuff to put up on my wall but couldn't be bothered with all the mess that comes with acrylic paints and canvas etc.
One of my favourite games back in the day was Megaman so I started with him first, but it didn't quite go according to plan, I did a few others afterwards to hone my skill.
I did metroid, tanooki mario, a tetrad which I put on a card for my Mum's birthday (she used to play tetris quite a lot) a duck from duckhunt in 3 different positions of flight (which I intend one day to frame and put up individually diagonally on my wall, see link below) and then I went back and did Megaman properly.
More recently I have tried cross stitch, it was an alternative coloured bowser for my brothers birthday, it again didn't go exactly as I wanted it too, it looks kinda stylised though, it's a learning curve I guess.

It is my opinion that the animated one is amazing. I've been wanting to do something like that but with cross stitch for a long time, it should be an really cool effect based on what I see up there. :nod
