Pixels

Mood= thoughtful

The more counted cross stitch I do, the more I find myself thinking of it as up-scaled pixel art. For example, if I took one of my mood icons, stuck it in photoshop, changed it to a JPEG, cut & pasted the coloured bit onto a new layer, adjusted the opacity of said layer to about 80% so the grid underneath could show through, then zoomed in until one grid square looked to represent the width of the black outline, I would have a counted cross stitch pattern.

I think.

Moody

Mood = happy

A couple of years back someone bought me a paid LiveJournal account. A feature granted to paid accounts was the ability to upload a customised set of mood icons. So I came up with a set of 26 based on what I would look like if I were considerably more adorable, with longer hair and uhm. Blue kitty ears. No sense letting them go to waste, so from now on I think I will slap one on each post. (see above)

I would be happy to email out the full set if anyone is particularly interested.
