Silent Auction Description It's time for some classic Super Mario Bros! Fabric style. Measuring around 3 feet in length, (nearly 4 feet including the frame), this is an epic piece of needlework which took many hours, over many weeks, to complete. It's a kind of Bayeux tapestry of Mario in that Mario appears in several places, in different poses, telling a story.

Design - The design is based on a cut down version of World 1-1 of the original game, with a few extra sprites added in. The 25 count evenweave fabric allowed a 1:1 pixel to stitch ratio, so every pixel is represented. The whole of World 1-1 would be around 10 feet long if stitched in the same way.

This is no average cross-stich, the sprites are cross-stiched to preserve pixel detail, the background is done cross-half-cross, satin, long, and short stiches, to create a more cell-shaded look.

It was profressionally framed by Fizz Gallery in Clevedan using a technique called dry-mounting which stickes the needlework to a dry backboard using reverseable heat activated adhesive...

Craft-Along? Yep!
