Langton's Ant cross-stitch
Aug. 31st, 2022 09:06 amOn Twitter, Bridgebyapool suggested doing a Langton's Ant cross-stitch. If the square is white, then it turns black, the ant turns 90 degrees clockwise and then moves one square. If the square is black, then it turns white, the ant turns 90 degrees anti-clockwise and then moves one square.
I coded it in Processing first:

I've mostly been too busy to do National Art Making Month (
naarmamo) this year, but did manage some cross-stitch and a collage.

Make it Soft
Oct. 22nd, 2013 07:38 amI completed the SF0 task: Make It Soft, by cross-stitching another QR code:
"Make it soft," I read, and concluded:
This task must be softer: soft as mashed potato, soft as candyfloss, soft as a cuddly Cthulhu.
Like many other great and noble players who have completed this task, I turned to the softness of fabric and thread.
After learning to cross-stitch space invaders and Pac-Man ghosts a few months ago, I learnt to cross-stitch QR codes, by initially following some of the instructions from Instructables: QR code cross-stitch patch.

I started sewing it while at the Royal Festival Hall, in London. I was at a
theladiesloos meet, and one of the people there was cross-stitching a bug, and the other was altering a zombie-related t-shirt so that it would fit her better.
A girl, a teenage girl, told me what I was sewing was cool.
A group of people started singing and I caught the word, "hell". I presumed they were singing a religious song, telling me I was going to hell, but no, it turned out they were protesting against Shell.

On day 19 of
naarmamo, I spent some time creating a pattern for a QR code cross-stitch.
I followed (some of) the instructions from here: Instructables: QR Code Cross Stitch.
What I did to create the pattern:
1. Generated a QR code using a QR code generator.
2. Opened it in GIMP and added a grid. The hardest part of creating the pattern was making the squares line up in the grid properly, so I actually ended up creating a new grid and filling each square in it myself. Then I printed it.
It does actually work as a QR code in real life, so I am happy. Although perhaps I should actually put some content on the website that it links to..
