Perlers by Moxi

I actually haven't done any perler projects for a while now (almost a year), but I decided to take some pictures anyway. Taking pictures of the Dr. Mario project (it's meant to be a tissue box cover, but I stopped when I realized my ironing skilz were not leet) made me decide to take it up again, so hopefully I will have the rest of it finished soon. Enjoy!

My first perlers: FF1 characters and a piscodemon:

3 sides from a Dr. Mario tissue box cover - I need to finish the top and the red virus

And some silly guitars I made for my niece - unfortunately the neck on one of them has already started to break.

Constructive feedback (read: don't take it wrong!): I haven't played the FF games. I know the characters from 8-bit Theater... but your second picture of the FF2/4 character is way too big for my eyes/brain to process (and the hubby seconded that opinion). Maybe try to make the picture smaller or put it on its own post? The site is limiting it to the point where you can only see about half of it at once (which doesn't work for us who don't know what it is to begin with). All the others look fantabulous though!

Oh, I can totally see where you're coming from. Does this help at all?

Yes, thank you!

I think it just really helps having him all visible at once.

I just realised I forgot to add in my original post: Great job!

Your best bet is to make up an image in paint or copy one from a picture on the internet. Then put it into a cross stitch program (look at the technique section for good programs) and then print your own guide off.
Hope that helps
