EarthBound stitching
Last week was a doozy -- I just returned from Duke and am energized and optimistic about the OTS project I am working on. It was a hectic, but very productive trip. I will download my pictures from the last few adventures and post about them soon.
In the meantime, I have finished a cross-stitch project that I have been working on for a while. It is a scene from my favorite video game -- Earthbound. It depicts a scene with the four heroes (Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo) in the Dusty Dunes desert as they meet a lonely black sesame seed. It sounds weird, but it really makes sense in the context of the story! This cross-stitch comprises 10,956 stitches and took a few months (of on-and-off stitching) to complete. I put it in a little IKEA frame and thought that it would be cool to color the mat with colored pencils to extend the scene. I really like how it turned out and now I have to find a place on the wall to hang it.
