Sorry for the wait, but (in Professor Farnsworth's voice) good news everyone! I sold one of the pieces I had queued up for Otakon so I'm working on another to replace it. I don't want to clutter up this site with too many work in progress pictures, so make sure to check out my Facebook page for all of the latest updates. I should be done in a few weeks, the outline's already finished.
Before I got started on that, I did manage to finish one more Mario enemy. Here's the bud of a piranha plant from SMB 3.
I've finished White Mage and Fighter, but I don't have the brown or yellow to make the other three. As soon as I can figure out why KG Chart is messing up colors so badly, I'll figure out the thread for those.
In the meantime I've started on another Mario set. This time it's his enemies, so far I have Bullet Bill and a spiny done.
So I found out that I'm faster at these then I thought. In light if that, I have the complete set of Mario items that I've stitched up. All of the sprites are from Super Mario Bros. 3, the NES version. The sprites are about 2 by 2 inches (5 by 5 cm).
I'm still at work making my next set of sprites so come back next week, and check them out!
I've been on a bit of a roll lately, so here's everything I've done in the past week. I really can't believe how quick I'm going through these, but that just means I need to think of another big pattern to slow me back down. The first one I made as a gift to my boyfriend. He works as a Database Admin. so I wanted something for his office. The original idea came from Futurama, and it translates from programmer speak into "Home Sweet Home".
The next one I finished in a weekend. It's the N7 logo from Mass Effect. I was using up a scrap of fabric I had and needed something small so this was perfect.
The last one I finished is very close to my heart, and yes, it's Portal! I guess I just can't help myself, poor companion cube.
I've seen this pattern in different versions all over the place, so I wanted to put my own spin on it. It's a little tongue in cheek, but it fits my sense of humor pretty well!
As an added bonus here's what I made for the
Sprite Stitch swap I entered. The person who got it was really happy with it, and that was all I wanted! I used eight different colors in the background to have it blend and I think was really worth the effort.
Thanks for everyone who liked my Facebook page! This is my first try at making a bookmark, so I kind of winged it a little. It's about 2 by 6 inches, with frayed edges. I couldn't figure out what to do with the back so I just put some foam-core on it. The next time I try this I'll definitively be more ambitious! My next project is for a swap I'm participating in so I have to keep it a secret until the person gets it. It's a small project so I should be done shortly and be on to a new project soon!
Just some new stuff for the store. The first generation already sold, and I'm still working on the current generation. I've already gotten some new ideas for some new projects so I still have no idea what to do next!
