One of my new housemates got the coolest 'ksmas present...
Apparently a while back she made a photo-based stopframe video art piece type thing, ending with a vase flower arrangement that casts the shadow of a face profile on the wall. So, the last frame was converted by computer into a cross-stitch pattern containing nearly 20,000 stitches, each of which was then hand-stitched over 10 months by her mother.
So she has ended up with a framed image of a highly-complex bitmap image that started life as a photo, became a video, was then grabbed and converted into a bitmap, which was then printed onto paper as a guide pattern, which was then rendered by hand, stitch by stitch by a Mum, into fabric.
It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm deeply jealous.
