Hogwarts Crest Update I

I recently discovered Final Fantasy: The 4 Warriors of Light and I haven't been stitching much lately...  >_> But I did get a good start on my Hogwarts Crest by Little Mojo. This project has been a little different for me with its large blocks of single colours. Also, it is my first large project working with evenweave fabric. I am enjoying it more than aida as the actual stitching is much smoother. Next I will tackle the Ravenclaw portion as it's my favourite house. ♥

Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon

My next project will be the Hogwarts Crest designed by Little Mojo via The Leaky Cauldron. I will be changing the colours a bit. To me, Hufflepuff should be yellow and Ravenclaw is better suited by the current colour for Hufflepuff.

This will be the largest project I have done as yet, the final piece measuring approximately 18"x20". I'll be using mushroom-coloured 28 count evenweave fabric. There are only 12 colours; very few compared to what I usually stitch. I imagine I might not finish this all in one go. It may turn out to be a long-term work in progress... =]

Deku Scrub Link is Jazzy

Deku Scrub Link is my favourite Link! He is so cute twirling around and stuff. ♥ Anyway, I guess he is the brass section of the band. Goron Link is coming up sometime in the future. He is about the same size as Deku Scrub Link and Zora Link combined so it will take a bit longer...
Also of note, the Sprite Stitch July/August Alphabet Challenge was finally put to vote. Blackmageheart and I tied for second because we are awesome. =]

No More Green Peace

It seems I have been stitching a lot of cleavage lately. o_0 Here is Poison Ivy from The Adventures of Batman & Robin on the SNES. Because I had already stitched Harley Quinn and Catwoman, I had to finish the third Gotham girl as well. I really like the pin-up look of this sprite. I just wish Batgirl was in this game. One thing about sprites from this game though is they are very dark. I had to brighten the original image significantly to make it more vivid.

Rozalin by Abysswolf

I have finished my largest stitch to date! Special thanks to Abysswolf for creating this gorgeous sprite. Please visit his Deviant Art page. The Disgaea series of games is hilarious and awesome and should get more recognition in North America. Everyone, go dust off your PS2. =]

I do plan to frame this one but it may take awhile to get it custom-matted due to its odd size. And no more black aida for a while...  >_>
