Magnet Hill fridge magnet

Post by ElectroSpecter »

So my sister brought this site to my attention the other day, and I decided to rush out and start a project. I have done some cross stitching before, but that was maybe 15 years ago, so it was fun relearning all the basics. Anyway, I'm almost done with this, I'm considering adding the black border and then I'll stick a magnet on the back:

And here's the original image:

The photo I took doesn't do the colors justice; they were actually fairly accurate, except for one. One of the middle gradients on the magnet was too dark of a blue, and creates too harsh of a line down the middle of the magnet. I used KGChart to get the colors, but I didn't bother referencing them against the original colors before buying them and starting. I know better now!

Welcome to Sprite Stitch! :D

I love the soon-to-be-magnet, the greens are really nice! Will you be doing more like this? Or something else?

I might do the other "My Sanctuary" locations from Earthbound!

It's finished now, but I still can't get a great photo...

I started over completely with new colors and it came out SO much better. I even changed the grass colors so that they were more vivid. Finally, I was able to get a decent scan of it, which represents the real colors well enough! Very happy with how this came out.

Both versions look good - and I look forward to the rest of the My Sanctuaries! :D
