Modern cross-stitch with photographic effect

Pixel art with thread: 8-bit pictures

“Thank you so much for taking this journey of creativity and learning! I hope you found inspiration and knowledge to apply to your work. To help organize your project, I chose three essential steps for you to keep in mind: • Choose your reference image. • Draw the outline and main lines, then move to graph paper, clean up duplicate pixels and use patterns to make it symmetrical. • Choose your color palette, check your fabric and apply the design using a washable pen. • Embroider in cross stitch, trying to always close the Xs in the same direction and finish on the wrong side. • Wash and iron your embroidery very gently and finish it in the hoop.

Now it is your turn! Share your process and experiences in the forum so we can see your project. Your work will inspire the community!

If you still feel insecure about building a big project, try to start with small things. ...”
