Sprite Stitch September Swap II

I am about three months late in posting this but here it is. Sprite Stitch hosted another mini swap and my recipient had Kingdom Hearts listed as a favourite game. It was a good excuse to finally stitch something KH related. I made two small stitches which fit into magnets meant for wallet-sized photos. I just took a photo of the fabric as the magnet was just clear plastic. I used Abysswolf sprites because I based the project around the magnets and a lot of in-game sprites don't work well for the size. I made both Sora and Roxas as they are the two main protagonists because I couldn't choose. ♥

The photos are not the greatest, I apologize. I wanted to post what I received as well because it was awesome! Assassin's Creed is my new favourite game series, possibly my favourite of all time at this point. Lord Libidan made a manifesto of Abstergo Industries to go with the Assassin Brotherhood logo I had stitched earlier this year. It was very thoughtful and very clever. I haven't been able to get a good picture of it but he used glow in the dark floss to imitate Eagle Vision. So in the dark, the Assassin logo appears as well as "riotpatch" in Morse Code. Pretty genius. He also made two pins, one of Altair and one of Ezio. Definitely check out his other stuff here. He's great. =]

Pikachu Pile

It feels good to have a finish again. Or one that I can post anyway. I finished another stitch last Friday which I don't believe I can show yet. This is probably the cutest thing ever: Pikachu Pile. For the record, my favourite Pikachu is the little weird one in the bottom right corner. ♥

September 2011 TUSAL

Another TUSAL already and another month of barely posting. Everything I'm working on I can't show yet. I have two more Pikachus to finish on my Pikachu Pile but I want to make sure I finish my swap items first. I also am taking on a side project, stitching a pixel artist's work for a book. While I finally picked up the needle again, I can't show anything yet. I'll iron some bead sprites and spread some Okamiden love soon. ♥

TUSAL jar contents: Hogwarts Crest, Psylocke, Dark Toon Link, Yoshi's Island Biscornu, Robo + Atropos, Baby Mario Bib, Jill and Vincent Valentine, Oracle of Seasons Link, Donkey Kong, Pan's Shadow, Vegeta, Cubone and Marowak, Nothing is True, Vulpix and Ninetales, Itsuki & Butterflies, Pikachu Pile, [Sprite Stitch Swap]

TUSAL backdrop: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

P.S. Another month and a half until Skyward Sword! Of course it comes out only five days after Assassin's Creed: Revelations. *le sigh* I may have to betray Zelda for AC. =P

Six Little Pikachus

Here is my progress over the weekend for the IHSW. I managed to finish three more Pikachus. ♥

This stitches up really fast. I do the outline of one, add the details, then fill in the yellow. It is a nice change from my usual pieces.

A New Start: Pikachu Pile

I'm still alive! Here is the new start I mentioned last post: Pikachu Pile. I'll be working on this for Joysze's International Hermit and Stitch Weekend. I'm stitching on 18 count aida for a change. I've signed up for another Sprite Stitch mini swap. It's exactly 50% completed but I can't post anything until it is received. I think I've found my stitching mojo again, finally.

If anyone knows who the original pixel artist is, please let me know in the comments. I've seen it stitched and beaded a few times but I've never seen it credited.
