Terrarium Time

Guess who got another hobby? Yeah. This guy. I made my first actual terrarium at my friends library a couple weeks back and have wanted to make more since. I tried to get activated charcoal last week but Home Depot lies about what is in stock. I ended up ordering it on Amazon and got a bag for about six bucks. This morning I went to Anawalt and was able to get rocks, sand, cactus soil, and five plants for less than $30. This is a cheap hobby which I am all for. I also saw that they have the charcoal there.

3D Totoro Perler Bead

I made this standing Totoro Perler bead the other day based off of sprite online. I have made Totoro once before but I like this weird little standing one staring at me from across the room.

3D Super Mario 3 Perler Bead

This was fun. I have been making these so much lately because it isn't as stressful as it was before. I was burning myself, putting them on crooked. Now I know to make pre-holes in the base and an extra layer of beads at the bottom of each design.

 

Anton Chigurh Perler Bead

I decided to make this Perler design of Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men. It came out big. I kept resizing the image until it was not bigger than my damn peg board.

3D Perler Beads And More

Over the past few days I made these 3D Perler bead designs. I make these way faster than I used to. I used to have such a problem getting these things to stand up and not flop over or just to connect properly. Now its easy and fun to make. I'm sure I'll make some more this week. I also made a random turtle shell.

 

Terrarium Time

I went to the library where they were having an event where we were shown one of the many ways to make a terrarium. By the way, be prepared to see more of these because this was so fun and easy to make. And, yes. I said this was at the library. Libraries have a ton of great events. I missed a plant swap a few days before this event.

Plants And Lack Of Inspriation

I bought a fern from Trader Joe's a few days ago for a few dollars. I love how healthy it looks and hope that I can keep it living long. I have not had luck with these things and I think its mostly from drowning them in the past.

Sagat Perler Bead

Last night I made this gigantic Sagat with Perler beads. I have made him a few times. One of the first designs I ever did and thought "This took so long and I'll never be able to make anything bigger or cooler!"

Fast forward years later and here I am putting together this monster. I love the way it came out and will be putting it in my hallway later. Not sure what I am gonna work on next but I know I need some more sand colored beads after this.
