He has many other talents! Having far too many ideas for one person to contain is one of them! :P
It's true!

Hey, here's an idea...

I've been thinking... if we do the tiny idea (and it sounds like we might,) is 5 x20 too small? Maybe, um, 8 x 32 (keeping the proportions the same.) Whatever everyone wants to do sounds great. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
And StitchPlease's idea for a deck of cards sounds really cool. I like playing cards better than tarot cards though.

This might be better suited for April, but... holidays -> Easter -> Easter eggs. What about stitching based on easter eggs hidden in games? Or creating easter eggs that we're pretending are hidden in games.

StitchPlease wrote:This might be a better idea for a swap, but what about doing something like a deck of cards. It could be Tarot or plain playing cards, but everyone would be able to pick what "suit" they want and then have to figure out which card to make. For example, having Peach as the Queen of Hearts, or Tails as the Jack of Diamonds. (Diamonds, rings, :grin: ) Maybe if we get enough people for it, we could have a full deck!
Have you seen Brawl in the Family's playing cards? I got a set for Valentine's Day. And I don't know if any of us are playing with a full deck :taunt: (and I'm confused why that smiley face is "taunt". I just mean it as laughing at my own joke)

If people want to do a mini stitch, don't make it too big! It could turn into a bookmark challenge.

Thanks for the great ideas everyone! There's a lot there that can be used later in other challenges (and I might just spring one or more of them upon you all - so look out!).
Looks to me like the majority are with the tinyminismall and oddly shaped project (although what's odd about a rectangle I have no idea :grin: ).
So I don't think I need to put this to a vote!

Will set up the challenge in a couple of days! :good:

It's more of an odd size, but maybe we could expand upon the idea a little more and say pick a shape from one game (i.e. Mario Invincibility Star) but the design could be something else (i.e. Hylian Shield)?
