I would not mind at all, the only problem is that I don't really have a detailed pattern. I took the images from the Unwound Future for the DS by hand using a magnifying glass and graph paper. Here are my very rough "patterns" that I used for reference, but unfortunately I don't have the specific colours that I used.

I will work them into a better pattern eventually, just right now I have finals coming up in University so I can't guarantee when they will get done so at least with this you might be able to start. :good:

Well, I've worked out the pattern and picked out the colors for the bookmark. Made a start today, so hopefully I can finish it before next week.

No problem for sharing the pattern! That is looking great so far! Let me know how that works out on plastic canvas, I have been meaning to try making bookmarks that way because I find the fabric gets too thick for a bookmark.

I've found out plastic canvas is not my thing. But that is mostly due to myself using a needle just a little to big, so I had to really pull the needle through every stitch. It kinda hurt...
I do think using plastic makes the bookmark even thicker than when using normal fabric. But it does get much stiffer, which I think is good in a bookmark.
Anyway, I've finished the pictures, but still need to make felt on the back...

That's too bad , I quite like plastic canvas mind you I haven't used any of the small mesh stuff yet.
That makes sense. :nod Well I will have to keep experimenting to find a better way.

While I am here, I finished the rest of the chaos emeralds, they just need magnets. :sonic
