Pixel-Based Artwork: Needlepoint Mississippi Finished

I posted this image on Twitter a few days ago:

So I figured some people might be intrigued to see where this went. Well, it went right here:

This is the Mississippi-Missouri River basin, done inverted with medium-gray floss for the background. Of course, I realized I chose the most difficult way of rendering something in needlepoint, so I will probably re-do the Mississippi in positive and then continue on the four other river basins I’ve pixellated, the Congo, the Nile, the Amazon and the Yangtze.
