Needlepoint Fun – House in Second Life

September 7, 2008

It’s not too often that the world of fiberarts and the world of Second Life intersect. A few months ago there was a discussion on the EGa list, I think, about whether SL was friendly to people who did things with string. The consensus was that it wasn’t because it’s hard to get avatars to do things like knit.

But I came across this post in CraftyPod for a Needlepoint House started but not finished in Second Life. It’s actually based on a house made from Plastic Canvas. I just love the overdyed thread walls and the way the different stitches make such great textures.

You can see in the last couple of pictures the scale of the house. It is the outside shel only. Although they planned on making some needlepoint furniture for it, it never was completed.

BTW, it no longer exists in SL.

Some fun for a Sunday.
