Great work overall and I am SO doing that Batman for my brother - we spent hours watching Batman: The animated series together. I found a special edition DVD for his bday last year that had "best of The Joker" episodes - which included "Christmas with the Joker" and "I Almost Got Him", two of our faves.

I love the Slurm can and the Sherlock silouettes! Great (and original!) work!
P.S. Wanna share that Slurm pattern? *waggle eyebrows*

This is what I used to stitch the can. http://8bit-artist.deviantart.com/art/F ... -106617159. I just counted by the beads, and matched the threads by eye to the ones from the actual can from an episode I was watching. Hope this helps.

I found two little oval frames at a thrift store for $0.50 and I just had to get them. I was wasn't sure what to make for them but this is the first one I came up with, a portrait of Piston Honda,
I'm not sure what to do for the second one.

Turn the frame & put the bat symbol in it! Cool stitch, I always look for tiny frames on the cheap so my stitches can look awesome.

Well I finished the other oval frame. It didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped, but I still like it. I made Cecil from the SNES FF2 Here are the 2 together.

I really like the blues used for Cecil and the shading on Piston Honda looks great! Both background colors fit well. Cool little frames too! I wish I was better at framing/finding frames/making things in which frame sizes exist. Ive never framed one thing I made. they just stack up in a ziplock bag.

I saw this stitch made on deviant art by slightlywicked, and I just had to make it for myself. It's is a watchmen/ Storm Trooper mash up, "Who Storms the Storm Troopers?" I painted the frame, and cut the plexiglass to give it an extra broken glass effect.
