oh my, that is way too cool. and, as the other people have already said, i would love a pattern...

[xletsbeinfinite]

That looks great!

Well, I sat down and attempted to make myself a pattern for this today and I think it turned out pretty well. So, since I know other people requested this as well, I thought I'd post it for anyone else that might want to stitch it. Enjoy ^_^

Using my above pattern, this is the completed project - completed project fits PERFECTLY in a 4x6 frame. I finished just in time for my Legend of Zelda-loving boyfriend's birthday, and he loves it ^_^

ooo, thats nice. i think i prefer it without the gold (sorry zombified). what colours did you use for it?

[silly-kitten71]

I actually couldn't find any metallic thread so just used yellow for the entire design. I used Iris floss for this project so I'm not sure what it would translate into with the DMC or Anchor colors. But I will give you the numbers just in case someone can find a translation of the color numbers:
Black - 148
Yellow - 323
Brown - 224
and that Beige-ish color - 222

Hahaha awwwe. This is all so awesome!
I'm so glad your boyfriend loved it! I feel way too awesome right now!

And wow, the pattern looks fabulous!
And no need to say sorry! The gold was hard to work with. I just never use it and wanted to and this seemed like a good idea.

Thanks Zombified! and thanks again for posting that picture in the first place, and making it soooo easy for me to personalize a gift for him

neat! i would've used black cloth , im lazy like that. lol came out nice, i keep hearing metallic thread is a hassle, i haven't tried it myself yet.

I had to use glue stick to thread it in my needle. It was a pain but I guess worth it in the end? either way, it's death.
All the black cloth I've found has been way too stiff and I hate working with it. I was thinking of just dying my own!

I also didn't have any at the time and didn't want to wait. I have zero patience and I love always having a project on the go.
