Want to go to Mars, but can't afford the trip? Well, why not cross stitch the planet instead? Now you can make your own accurate globe of the red planet. The Martian landscape is depicted as it appears in space. This planet is in scale with my Earth and moon globes, a bit larger than half the size of the Earth. Who says that cross stitch is only good for flat things? Now you can stitch a planet using cross stitch for the details.

The sphere is stitched as 1 piece which is then cut out and sewn together. Full assembly directions with photos are included.
