The Nintendo Cross-stitch project... our first collaboration.

It took me a long day on the web and on Photoshop, and it took Karyn something like eight weeks of on-and-off (mostly on) sitching, but we were able to finish it in time for Chris and Abby's housewarming party.

The finished work

A close-up of the top-left
(Bowser is the only SNES sprite here. His pixels were twice that of the NES sprites, so Karyn had to artistically cut out half the pixels to make him fit.)

A close-up of the top-right
(Notice Peach's umbrella? It's not originally in the SMB2 sprite, but
she didn't look like she was floating without it, so I drew it in.)

A close-up of the bottom-left

The Blue Bomber, Karyn's favorite

Abby and Chris, portrayed by their Miis
(Karyn had no pixel map to rely on for these, so she planned
and stitched them by sight.)
