Assorted other crafty endeavors! Saturday, May 10, 2014. Perler Beads: A Tutorial on a New Hobby. I've had some friends as of late express interest in getting into the art of perler beads, and I have also. Had people ask for more blog posts, so I figured I'd be extra efficient today. First, let me give you a very quick background on beads. That being said, let's jump in. Main supplies you need for making awesome bead art:. Parchment paper (NOT wax paper). Storage containers of some kind. Keep in mind tha...

Assorted other crafty endeavors! Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Perler Beads: 3D Energy Tank from Megaman Tutorial. I posted a finished picture of this on the VGPerlers Facebook page a week or so ago, but I thought I'd give more in-progress shots on its construction. And by more, I mean one. Behold, the 3D Energy Tank:. Underside of the lid, pictured after completion. A quick shout out to BrYaN55 on the Pixelgasm forum for posting this. Tutorial, which I used as reference and modified to make my own Energy Tan...

Assorted other crafty endeavors! Thursday, May 30, 2013. Not Dead, Just Busy. It's been crazy hectic the last week or two, but I promise I will have a proper blog post up soon recapping ConDUIT. Until then, here are a few pictures of recent projects to tide you over. Business card holder (pattern created by me, based off the actual NES controller and the pattern Nathan made for NES controller earrings). Monday, May 13, 2013.

Assorted other crafty endeavors! Thursday, April 17, 2014. Final Fantasy VI Enemies. I've been making a lot of Final Fantasy VI enemy sprites lately, so I thought I'd share. Chupon reaching out to pull Brachosaur's tail. Next up is Tyranosaur, and I kind of want to do all the dragons too. And don't worry, in case you forgot, we already did Ultros last year! What is your favorite Final Fantasy enemy? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Blue Skies and Lilacs. Nathan Vs. Video Games. Patrick Rothfuss - Blog.

Assorted other crafty endeavors! Saturday, January 5, 2013. Perler Beads: Assorted Mario Sprites. I've been doing a few more Mario sprites to add to our (already extensive) collection, so I thought I'd share:. Frog Suit Mario and Tanooki Suit Mario. Mario jumping over a barrel (from Donkey Kong). Walking along the beach. Moro Bay (right before eating fish and chips). Seahorse at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Fun at the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my niece and nephew. And thus concludes our epic adventure. Su...

Assorted other crafty endeavors! Saturday, April 13, 2013. Perler Beads: more Final Fantasy goodness. Terra and Kefka (I think Terra's going to win) plus the Final Fantasy III/VI game cart and little Terra for scale. As you can see, big Terra took up 13 trays. Nathan holding Terra. Terra is based on a fan sprite created by AbyssWolf. Terra compared to the Metroid, our previous record holder for largest sprite (also a pain to iron). Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Perler Beads: Zelda items and Ganon. As an adde...

Assorted other crafty endeavors! Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Perler Beads: Kirby Extravaganza. It has come to my attention that the last perler blog post I did was back in May. Well. we've made a lot of stuff since then. And that might be a bit of an understatement. So rather than dump it all on here at once, I'm going to spread it out a bit into semi-themed posts. So here's today's theme: Kirby! Some day we will make the rest of his many iterations, but these are the ones we have finished thus far.
