Hey, don't worry about that. It's all about ideas and having fun with them!

I have been thinking about getting these little cuties added to my gamer tattoo sleve, but i should probably get my skyrim dragon filled in first.

I was having trouble importing a color version of the image, so i did it in black and white and added the color easily enough. Hopefully i can get it done on time. 2 eeveelutions per week!

Thanks! I've been reading embroidery books and I guess this stuck in my head when I made the pattern.

I've started something that is very obvious, but nonetheless still minimal. I'm aiming for a simple image with very few colors. From what I've seen everyone is putting their own spin on minimal.

That is one neat design! Minor curiosity, what's it from?

Yay for the Eevee Evolutions! Although that's one of the best minimal images of them I've ever seen. It's gonna have to get changed or at least added too this October when Gen VI hits the world. (No, I'm not excited or anything! :grin: )

Also, I've decided to start participating in more challenges. I've been floundering on my blog for ideas, and I've decided I need to embrace the Geek Crafter Within and for some reason Sprite Stitch Challenges inspire me. ^_^

I would add sylveon to it now, but there is was to much mystery with it, so i don't even know what an appropriate color would be. Once i hace more info the piece will get updated, i plan to leave a lot of extra room just in case!

I think that even though minimalism is suggesting rather than saying, obvious works. It doesn't have to be a soup can art print. I think the point is simplistic suggesting to evoke a response of "Oh yeah!" in someone. Or maybe even a "Oooh cool!"

Although it might be fun to do a 'mini' challenge, like 20x20 squares or something. Or whatever works per fabric to make a 2 inch (5 cm approx) art square. The artists I know call 'em 'Twinchies'. Look up 'Inchies' or 'inch art'. Some people are AMAZING!
