Did this embroidery for the "250 Square Feet of Art" for the Eisner Museum fundraiser two years ago. It's all metallic on black cotton. This is a Simpsons quote (well, a bastardized version of a Simpsons quote) I've always wanted to cross stitch, but I didn't have time for creating a pattern before the piece was due.
Metallic embroidery floss is a bitch to work with, I hate working with it. Overall I think this turned out pretty well, I was pretty pleased with the window detail. To bulk the image up I went over the rocket with three or four stitches, which created sort of a rope-like effect.
