I didn't think I was going to enter this one, with uni really picking up, but I did most of this while watching lecture recordings... so that's ok right?

Anyway, here is my entry!

I figured bling would be a perfect challenge to do some foil art, as it is sooo shiny already. I only had just enough light green for this one... my colour supply is dwindling. I thought I would slip it into a frame I had lying around, just to see how it looked, but unfortunately will not be its permanent home as that frame is reserved for my stich-a-long piece... still have not got around to framing it.

More Zelda, and more Rupees, I hope the repetition isn't boring anyone, and I don't mean to steal peoples thunder. The other entries look great btw. :nod

Of course not! Rupees come to mind when you think of bling. And your project is totally different. It would be a shame if you didn't include your unique foil art in this challenge. Shiny foil is totally blingy! I love your project. :)

Bling is bling. That is all. :D

I know it's turning into a Zelda Bling Challenge :link , but Lord Libidan suggested I enter my NES Link holding the original Legend of Zelda cartridge cross stitch, and I checked w/ BMH and she said it was ok.

so here is my 2nd entry. Link holding the most Bling NES Cartridge ever.

I don't know if it would count.. but what about reactions to different people's versions of 'bling'? I don't want to spoil my idea, so sorry about not being specific :confused:

I finished my blingy project.

I've wanted to stitch the Sprite Stitch logo for a while, so I figured, why not bling it out? The stitching is mostly light effects, and I added the beaded border. It makes me happy. :)

Here's my entry. It's turnips (a pink turnip, a turnip & a gold turnip) from Rune Factory 3 (Harvest Moon plus dungeon crawling rpg goodness - go play it now if you've never tired it). What's more bling then a golden turnip? To make the gold turnip I tweeded the appropriate in game colours for the gold turnip with dmc gold metallic floss! I think it turned out great and I love how it sparkles.
