Sprite Stitch Board!

I just picked up cross-stitching in mid-November. My sister and step-mother always cross stitched, so it was about time I caught on. I made this as a Christmas present for my sister who stitched a 'Mario Across the NES Ages' for my birthday. I was slightly inspired by the juxtaposition, so I decided to return the favor, only using Peach instead. She has a huuuge princess and pink fetish, so these two ideas went together perfectly.





...and a few close shots.

I thought it turned out pretty good for my third cross-stitch project. It was fun to do, but matching the colors was frustrating.

This is really neat. I lovelovelove the frame.

I love these 'across the ages' pieces that show the evolution of the sprites.

Colour matching can be a pain, but I seem to recall that someone posted on here a while ago an rgb to dmc converter. I haven't used it myself, but it looked useful enough at the time that it stuck in my mind.

It's lovely work and I hope your sister enjoys it.

Wow, Peach across the ages, that's such a neat idea. I love Peach in the bottom right hand corner, she's gorgeous. I would never have the patience to match colours by inspection, but you've done a really great job .

I agree. Great idea and it looks nice.

That might be mine; you can find it over [url=http://mortal_elf.tripod.com/automagic.htm]here[/url]. Tips on finding your values can be found in this thread. (Littlemojo, that may be where you saw it, since you commented on that thread.)
