It's a good thing I don't stay home sick all that often...

terpkristin · 06-23-2006, 08:12 PM

Because if I did, I'd have more time to do silly things like this:

I spent the morning looking for useful sprites and using a piece of software to convert them to stitching patterns, then spent a few hours this afternoon stitching. And I have more patterns, if I get so bold...

Yeah, at least when I'm stitching normally, I stitch things that have some application (right now I'm working on a panda wall-hanging scene that I'll likely frame, whereas this...I have no idea what I'll do with it).

I have to say...that's actually pretty cool.

I bet you could do this for some online leagues' logos and make a couple bucks.

My wife suggests Yoshi.

Daimyo · 06-23-2006, 09:35 PM

My wife wants to know the software you used to generate the pattern?

Franklinnoble · 06-23-2006, 10:20 PM

My kids would make me pay money for that.

Hurst2112 · 06-23-2006, 10:31 PM

do the first screen of SMB(background and all) THEN we will pull out the checkbook.

Seriously, great job.

Terp, have you considered doing this to stitch porn? I might buy some. You could clean up on e-bay.

RendeR · 06-24-2006, 02:45 AM

Cross-stitch porn, the next BIG thing on the porn market.

News flash: To stem teh rising tide of cross stitch porn a number of major conservative groups have gotten their senators to put forth legislation to ban cross-stitch as a handy craft entirely...news at 11....

Yoshi is next on the list. I have the pattern for him, too. I'm doing this little section as a test, to see how the patterns come out and to see how I like working on linen, as I'm thinking of doing some Nintendo-themed stitching on pillowcases or dishtowels as part of a gift for my brother's upcoming wedding.

PC Stitch, standard version. The sprites I got from Game Sprite Archives, looking under Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo.

As for the stitching pr0n, well....I suppose it COULD be done, though I'm not sure that's where my real talents lie...

Very impressive, tk. My wife likes it too. However, she says she wouldn't have the patience to stitch any of the patterns I might want her to do

Aw, c'mon. You never know until you try it. Send me over a Tanya James please. Thanks.

terpkristin · 06-25-2006, 01:30 PM

Still sick, plus it's been raining almost nonstop here in Ashburn, so, as planned, I added Yoshi. Next up is to do a 1-up mushroom, then I think I'm going to try Link and Zelda at some point. Plus I gotta figure out what I'm going to do with this, it's not like I plan on framing it..

I think I still have a UTEP football helmet that I cross stitched back in elementary school in a box somewhere...

Offer it as a prize in a FOFC Mario Bros. Trivia Contest???

MikeVic · 06-27-2006, 02:06 PM

That is seriously cool. You have to be able to make money off of this.

scooper · 06-27-2006, 02:17 PM

This really should be a dynasty thread. The possibilities are endless.

dola

For example, what Raiders fan would not want a framed cross stiched Techmo Bo Jackson in their basement or rec-room?

Jeremy sounded extremely pleased to receive attention from you. Attending UTEP has been a dream since childhood. He said he would almost certainly accept an invitation to visit your school.
