Late photos be gahddam late.
Vegas Jizzum March 2012 prize bags. I wonder who won these babies?
My second attempt at the 20-panel Twisted, except smaller! I guess it's the size of how most demo extra large bags are nowadays. This is a Valentine's Day gift to a sweet girl in Wroclaw, Poland.
I'm 2 bags away from finishing up a 5 bag order for Team Japan. Will post them on fb and here when I finish them.
edit: Holy crap, my images came out large. I guess I need to adjust my camera's scope. lol

Yo Waylon, you should talk to Bruce about the lizard templates. He's got these templates that are lizard shaped and if you stitch them all together, they are supposed to make a bag. I was thinking about it recently and I think you should definitely step up to the challenge and stitch the first lizard bag.
Great bags, everyone. I really need to get back stitching again.

I know about the lizard bag from Bruce. We talked about it when we had our discussions on the Twisted template. The one thing I shoot for in footbag stitching is symmetry: Not only the symmetry of the overall product of the bag, but I also try to be symmetrical on the panels themselves. I'm still mulling over what the lizard bag is a play of, and I believe it was concluded that the lizard bag is an 80-panel bag.
Also, how the panels connect and overlap each other is another concern of mine, so I'm not going to force myself on doing something I'm not confident in sewing. Bags like these need time, and I'm not quitting stitching just yet.

it's actually only twelve panels...I tried to make one a while ago and failed miserably. I think I was just making the panels too small, though...when I tightened the thread, the arms and legs basicallly disappeared.I'm still mulling over what the lizard bag is a play of, and I believe it was concluded that the lizard bag is an 80-panel bag.
here's a photo of the concept...
It's a bit "blocky", the lizards could easily be more organic and less angular...but that's the general idea. The 2D templates are based on a different 3D model (closer to Escher's original 2D design) and while they're not perfect they're better than the rigid one shown.

For sure, I can sew a 12-panel.
Anything over a 20-panel Twisted. Those hurt my head and fingers.
