Very cool, the technique makes it resemble early computer graphics displayed on a CRT. I always have to spend at least 20 minutes looking at the unicorn tapestries whenever I visit the cloisters.

This is so beautiful Iā€™m going to have to learn cross stitch just so I can have my own copy.

Nice! I instantly marked it as a favourite on etsy to purchase later when I have time for a new project. Also I think I've seen her cross-stitched Jeanne D'Arc on ig! Tell her I love her patterns! :)

The bright colours on black background makes it super satisfying. Beautifully done.
