My younger brother (age 25) and I played a lot of video games growing up. I recently got a text message from him saying the following: "Man, I just found a website with pictures of characters from Final Fantasy VI. It really makes me wish I knew how to cross stitch."
Nice, subtle hint.
I told him to send me a link to the website and that I could make him some for Christmas. He told me that there were 16 characters he wanted and gave me a list of them in priority. Here's the cute part. I asked him what he wanted them for --- I offered to put them all on the same piece of fabric and frame it for him. Nope. He was VERY particular about how I am to make these characters (Excuse me? Aren't I the one making them?!
). He wants them to be small, about 2 x 3 inches each, so that he can put them in tiny frames. He loves to play music from Final Fantasy VI and wants the characters on top of his piano. Awww. Kind of a strange request, but hey, if it makes the kid happy ... I'll do it.
Look at HOW SMALL the source images are! It's hilarious! I tried finding bigger images online, but this is as big as they come!
Luckily, the images are pixelated, making them easy to cross-stitch. Here are the first two that I've done.
I told you this was kind of weird.
very clever and doesn't matter if its "weird" to anyone else as long as your brother is going to be happy with them. what you have done looks like the figures and that's what counts.
I have a Zelda project that I'll be starting soon!
Many years ago cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.
