Kirby coasters!

Continuing  with my needlepoint adventures I decided to make some Kirby coasters. I decided to make yarn Kirby's from inspiration of the "Kirby Epic Yarn" game. It's disgustingly cute and adorable and a really  fun casual game to play! I could go on, but I won't discuss my videogame "hobby" on this blog. Here is a video to show you what I'm talking about




At first I was just making a bunch of Kirby's  following a pattern already made and available on a sprite website. Sprite patterns that are already pre-made/designed really cuts down on the process of creating these pixel designs by a lot. As I was finishing each Kirby, I decided that a nice way to display them would be through coasters. I went to Michael's first to see if they had coasters I could use, but they did not so I ordered some 3x3 inch acrylic clear coasters online.


Here is one of the Kirby's as I was working on it. I used clear plastic canvas and once again used half stitches. I always do the outline first so that its easier to fill in.

                               

Here they are all finished and next to a Wii remote for size reference.

The mushed face Kirby was a design I asked my husband to whip up for me since I was in need of a 4th Kirby that could fit inside the coaster. We are getting a lot of use out of the finished coasters! We really did need some and this was a fun way to create some.
