Here he is, straight from Kirby Squeak Squad to cross stitch, angel Kirby. I recently decided to try my hand at cross stitching sprites, with the familiar pink blob as my test subject. I used one of the images from the Sprite Database, enlarged it with Microsoft Paint, and then started working on bringing Kirby to life.

The whole project took a total of about an hour and a half to two hours. I wasn’t really keeping track and didn’t actually expect to finish the entire piece in one sitting - I started around 8pm because I was bored, and I was finished before the end of Boston Legal. His feet feature two different shades of magenta, his body has three different shades of pink, his wings and halo contain two shades of yellow and white and of course there is a black border around his body.

I’m thinking my next project might be something with fewer colors. Originally I was considering doing Neku and Shiki from the forthcoming Square Enix title The World Ends with You, but now I’m considering perhaps a Burgertime or Little Nemo: The Dream Master piece.

If you love angel Kirby and are wondering how I did it, you may want to look back and check out Gamertell’s prior story on video game cross stitching.
