Valerie from Der Himmel ist Grau (The Sky is Grey… in case you’re wondering) sent in a link to her blog.
Just so you know… she’s a crochet dishcloth pixel art ninja.
She’s made up crochet/knitting charts so that you too can crochet dishcloths adorned with goombas, koopa troopers, yetis, pac men and yummy yummy ghosts. Go for it!
We love Megaman… and when I say ‘We’ I mean ‘I’
Quilter Cindy Jo shares just how easy it is to make highly effective quilt pixel art:
“I just had to share the quilt I made for my son for Christmas. He really likes the Megaman games so I went online and found a simple drawing of his and then used Paint Shop Pro to make him looked pixelated. I then just made a square of different colored cloth for each pixel.”
Thanks Cindy Jo!
Today’s reader submisssion comes from Etsy seller Donna Aka Arcade Artist:
Hope you like ’em :) “
Wow Donna! What a challenge! and so far so good, she’s made The Silence and The Siren from the current series. Go to her shop regularly to check back on new creations!
I think whole concept is really unique and interesting, I love pixel art, I love Dr Who, I love cute things! This ticks a lot of boxes! Speaking of cute, check out her pikmin magnets! (anyone else hoping for a exciting, inventive new pikmin title on the upcoming next gen Nintendo console?)
I can’t knit… and people like Craftster user queenofmarigold really make me want to learn.
Queenofmarigold knit this super cute reversible space invaders ear flap hat and figured out how to do the space invaders sprites herself! I’m sure to those of you out there who knit that’s a “Well DUH that’s pretty easy.. all you gotta do is…” … but to us non-knitters it’s like WITCHCRAFT!… awesome witchcraft…
This book cover idea is so simple, yet so awesome, I’m slightly upset I didn’t think of it first! Way to go Icoeye for beating me to it… now I wish I had more books of the same size to properly pull this effect off! (Think of the design potential… Space Invaders, Mario, anything 8bit = crazy pixel fun!)
There is also a PDF link included to make your own bookshelf designs (yay!)
