Pixel Samplers

Endflie.com has created Pixel samplers, cross-stitch at it’s geeky finest, like the graphics card above. From the site, “Cross-stitch preceeded pixel art by quite a few hundred years. Both techniques are based on filling in small squares with colour to build up an image. I am interested in the opposing gender associations of both practices when their processes are so similar. Traditional samplers utilise symbols and motifs to represent events or items of relevance to the stitcher. The electronic icons I have stitched represent machine actions/events/objects.” (click on right side nav: “catalogue”, then “pixel samplers) [ via ] Link.
