The marriage of traditional crafts and new technologies is always a source of inspiration. The creative melding of old and new, can truly be inspirational. Billie Ruben as come up with a surprisingly simple project that pulls off a new and interesting combination, cross stitch for your keyboard.

The keycaps can be 3d printed on a resin printer, then act as a blank slate for whatever pattern you want to stitch into place.
