Shine Sprites

Remember Super Mario Amigurumi (5th March), where I showed you the figures I had to make 'cos my son requested them and they couldn't be found?

If asked, he would say his favourite colour is 'rainbow', that way he doesn't have to leave any out. Well, that was certainly true when it came to making Shine Sprites (from Super Mario).

 They were made in felt with a central star-shaped part and then a circle sewn on back and front simultaneously.

The blue ones with the red and pink eyes are 'shadow shine sprites' he tells me. When you have already completed a level and gained the sprite, if you go back and play it again then you get a shadow of the sprite you have already gained.
