If there is
one thing skill that I sometimes wish I had the time and patience to pursue it
would be cross stitching. If I could master this art with thread I would
probably cover most of my clothes with intricate and wicked patterns. Alas my
attention span and short fuse will not allow me to ever complete anything of a caliber
such as this without first breaking a lot of things.
As with
every kind of medium there is a Geek who has utilized it for a medium to
express their personal geekiness. Cross Stitching is no exception to the geek
invasion and for geeks who are lovers of the pixel art this is one of the easiest
mediums to cross into. With most of the classic video games being passed around
8 or 16 bits this means that the images of our favorite characters are already
perfect to be cross stitched.
Introducing Linda
the girl who set out to be the very best, like no one ever was, to stich them
all is her real test, to stitch them is her cause. Lind took all the sprites
from the Pokémon game and put them to fabric, I am almost speechless in looking
at this. A project of this magnitude takes an outstanding amount of commitment
to pull off and bravo for her doing it.

her blog here: Eponases
Here is a
pick of the master crafter standing next to her masterpiece of geekdom.
I wish I
could create something of that magnitude, maybe one day I will.
Sincerely Urban
Yeti
