I just can’t get enough
As you’ve probably noticed by now I’m a sucker for big projects. So I just had to make another one. One more Super Mario Bros 3 map, world 2 this time. Size: 59 x 18 cm on 21 count Aida. It took just under nine months to finish (although I did mix it up with other projects during that time).

My dear Ninja you are delightfully nuts!! One day we’ll get to sit and stitch together in the same room and I can check out your technique since you seem to be able to stitch so much more than me. Well maybe I could finish more and start less projects lol!
Seriously this is an amazing piece. Makes me wanna nerd out all day
Well done!

“Delightfully nuts” you say? I like the sound of that.
The main technique is lots of patience and spare time to stitch, I’m afraid.
The only thing I can think of is this: http://crossstitch.about.com/od/learnhowtocrossstitch/a/stabsew.htm I usually use the sewing method, as long as it doesn’t affect the look of the stitches. I was pretty frustrated when I was working on the background in this stitching. I had to use a hoop and the stabbing method to get the stitches to look good and it was so much slower!
your map is one of the most inspiring things iv seen. i really respect the skill and the idea. im currently studying visual arts. i hate it.. this is the kind of work i want to do. that should be incouraged. luv it.

Wow, excellent job! I must agree and say that you are delightfully nuts ^_~ I don’t think I’d have the patience to do something like that, much less on 21-count cloth! So…want to take on the overworld map in Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past? ^_~

That would be fun! And probably take the rest of my life.
Actually, I have been thinking about making the overworld to Link’s awakening: http://www.bliterations.com/wp-content/images/LegendOfZelda-Link%27sAwakening-Koholint.png but it would be HUGE, even on 28-count evenweave, so it’ll have to wait until I can afford the fabric.
This is truly awesome. You have serious patience and talent!
