#so it's...been a minute

You ever see a design so cool, hiding innocuously in something you love so much, that you take up a new hobby about it? Process pics under the cut!

This was a labor of love, from recreating the above page as a regularized vector diagram, to isolating out, fiddling with, and sizing all the shapes for both the Cricut and the embroidery machine:

creating a truckton of stencils and marking guides:

and TRIANGLES. so many triangles

I lost count of all the bits and bobs (btw Belos part of your sigil looks like a chicken wing)

hovering like a helicopter over the machine to get each piece laid out just right

and then picking out a backing fabric as offensive to crusty old pilgrim men as possible.

To whatever artist, designer, or animator went off on this single page that's in a single episode for seconds, and isn't even the side we're paying attention to: I see you. And thanks. <3
