I took suggestions from a few online friends and decided to use my hobby of recreating 8-bit graphics to make my mom a Christmas present. She's a big Ms. Pac-Man fan.
Note that several pictures were taken while the glue was still wet (it dries clear).
The size inside the border is 8.125 x 6.125 inches, an approximation of a 65 x 49 pixel scene, each pixel blown up to 0.125 (1/8th) inch square.
The squares aren't perfectly consistent, as the foam is rather stretchy and I had some difficulty cutting it into such small shapes. I'm going to spray it with a clear matte topcoat to protect it from discoloration and help with structural integrity in case the glue weakens. I'll be framing the final product once it's dry.
