This is still WIP! There are no downloads yet is an indev download, but I'm mostly posting here for feedback (please leave honest comments) during creation. I have full intent to finish.
About:
Not much to say here. The inspiration came from watching Taehl create her new texture pack (which is basically the most beautiful 16px pack in my opinion) and taking a long time. It originally started as a tribute pack of sorts, but that ended after about a block or two. But, as a perfectionist, I couldn't just leave it. And it's taken me forever. However, I feel that it's close enough to at least warrant a WIP thread. I've never actually done any pixel art before, but before you judge me on that, take a look at some pics:
V4:
Old versions of top picture:
V3
V2
V1
Bragging moment: I think the smooth stone and half blocks have come out to be some of the best I've seen.
Bread? Cake? Who eats that junk? Real Minecrafters eat tomatoes and pizza! (This picture is slightly outdated, tomatoes are a bit darker now to match rest of pack)
All in-game pictures (except the last) were taken on the MCSteamed server, home of the Official Minecraft Steam Group. See sig for more info.
I like the Texture pack alot!! Its really cool. If you need, You can send me the pack/link over PM and i'll spend some time on it (im on MC 24/7) and tell you what you can fix/improve. Dont have to, but i would like to help if needed.

For now, I think I'm going to work on it alone. When it gets closer to finished, it's possible I'll give it out to a person or two.
The OP has been updated with a newer version of the top picture. Features several fixes such as new cloth (probably placeholder), better lightstone, beds, repeaters, and a few more things.
Also updated the Todo list to be slightly more detailed.
What would people recommend for things like TNT, glass, iron doors, cloth, chests? All of these are things I've either A. Not gotten to, or B. Not near satisfied with. TNT I'm thinking about going with the crate of dynamite sticks plan, although there was another pack that did a gunpowder-sand combo thing that was beautiful. For glass... that stuff never looks good. Also not sure what to do about iron doors. Cloth I've had two types; one was terrible at tiling, the current one is plain, boring, and looks like it was drawn by an 8-yr old. Chests can wait a bit I suppose; still not a fan of them ingame.
Edit: Also, is patterned mossy better than mossy cobble? I kinda like the way it turned out.
As much as I hate to triple post, I've made some updates here.
From the todo list, I've finished TNT, Furnaces, Dispensers, and new Iron Doors. I can imagine pistons won't take too long as they are similar in design to dispensers (at least they way I see it).
New things for the todo list... Cloth. The original cloth (see spoiler pics) tiles incredibly badly, but this current cloth is just hideous.
So, any comments? I'd appreciate true, helpful stuff. Or positive things. Both are heavily appreciated. Download links will most likely come after I finish all blocks and items. Mobs and GUI will probably wait until after those, but that's subject to change.
Edit: I realized that flower stem color is way off. Forgot about that; fixed in next pics.

I'm glad to hear that you like that stuff! What I'd love to hear are possible improvements, though.
Edit: In addition... I'm not liking the big cobble, so probably moving to 4 layers of cobble bricks. Tried it, not happening.
You know... What the hell. Why would I even consider not putting up a download. THIS IS STILL A WIP, but you'll at least have a current copy of the texture pack at all times. Every time I change something, this link will be updated. So have at. Find me stuff to improve.
NOTE: Because this is still indev, some textures won't fit very well. You'll also, if you're very unlucky in timing, come across some very experimental textures that end up really badly. Just redownload in like 15 minutes. The items I've not barely started. Mobs and GUI I've not looked at. Only like 2 blocks to go.
And, for now, I've tentatively finished all of the blocks. Cloth still sucks, but the rest is starting to really come together. I've begun work on items. First thing was to change wheat/bread/cake so that it fit the tomato/pizza scheme. The rest already fits, just needs redrawing.
Alrighty... I know I've not updated this in awhile. Actually been a bit busy.
HOWEVER, I did manage to get done all the swords and shovels, plus all diamond/gold tools except for hoes. The download is still recent, check it out! I'll have a picture of all the tools once I finish all of them.
Edit: Also moved back to vanilla cloth until I can figure out what to do with that troll of a texture.
Edit2: Also, goodness people, does it kill you to post some feedback? Even a "Nice" works.

Bugs/Todo:
Well, it's a 16px texture pack, so technically no. I'm not sure if I'll bother doing a custom water or not, so at this point, we're gonna say no.
For now, I think I'm going to work on it alone. When it gets closer to finished, it's possible I'll give it out to a person or two.
Alright. Thats cool.
Thanks!

Very cool!
I have one more mushroom to go for the blocks to be done, then I'll hit up the items, etc.
Movin' right along!
