Hi everyone!
I've been following the site for months but just registered now for the forums. Thought I would kick things off by posting a pic of my Portal stitchings which I made for my boyfriend for Christmas. I started with the posting of this in the "patterns wanted" section posted a long time ago but had to tweak things a little bit...ended up winging some of it!!
Hope you like!
Thanks!

These look really good. It looks like you did them on plastic canvas with half stitch, yes? The blue really pops out, stunning!!

Thank you!
Yes, I used plastic canvas which I have grown to absolutely love (hate going back to fabric lol).
The actual icon in blue is cross stitch but the black background is half stitch.

Lovely job on these! The half stitch backgrounds look great and the frames really give them a nice finished look. Excellent!

Nice work!
You can do some pretty interesting work with stitched backgrounds. Because of the natural sheen of the embroidery floss it can even look like different colors in the right light, particularly if you stitch in different directions.
If you can find clear plastic it's even better. Not only does it not show through like white can it seems easier to use. Maybe it's more flexible? I have a hard time finding it locally and when I do I stock up.

Do you have a pattern for these pictures that can be downloaded in PC Stitch? These pictures look amazing and I know my boyfriend would love for me to make them! It would make his day! Please let me know.

Hello, do you have the patterns for these? I posted these on the "patterns wanted" section, and it would really be cool.
Thanks!

I'm not sure which ones tracethekat used but I cleaned up a whole sheet of these awhile ago so I can post that for you if you like!
I made it using KG-Chart, not sure if it will open in anything else. I also didn't clean up the Aperture science or portal words but I think this will work you ya.
