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.

Plants And Perlers

Last week I finally put my Streets Of Rage 2 Perler beads on the wall. The original idea was to make a big mural of some sort until I realized how big that would actually have to be and abandoned that idea. I also put an old Terminator design on an acrylic pouring that was just laying around. I also finally separated two of my plants that were growing in one pot when I first got them. They are both doing fine. But I am not. I have been miserable.

Random Perler Beads

I made some random Perler beads over the last few weeks. I have some random colors left and like zero white beads so my choices are super limited in what I can make.

Tupac Perler Bead

I did this Tupac Perler bead randomly. I don't know who originally made it since there are so many. I had to change some colors because I am running low on the most basic of colors.

Getting Carried Away

You know how hard I am struggling to not head to the Hollywood Farmers Market to get some more plants to turn into kokedama? I made some more today and plan to make a few more tomorrow. I love these weird ass things and need to start giving them as gifts before my place is overrun. I have started hanging them on my wall.

Making My Own Kokedama

A few months ago my friend gave me a plant that was wrapped in a kokedama. I had not seen one of these before and the damn thing blew my mind. I went to Anawalt this morning to get some moss and dirt for it as well as making a sad attempt at a terrarium. I'm gonna have to wait till next month when I go to the library and learn how to make one of those properly. But the kokedama was relatively easy. I changed up the technique a bit since I found like three or four ways to do it online and made one.

I liked the way it came out so I made another and thought about heading out to get some twine. Then I remembered that I have a bunch of twine hangers and that I could just unravel them. I did that and made the second one.

People make these to hang and do all kinda stuff. Mine are sitting in the kitchen for now chilling until I figure out how I am gonna display them somewhere else. I like the way these look and hope to get better at it as time goes on.

I made a few more this morning. I really want to get better at twine. Hoping that the succulent will do well in the kokedama.

Random Perler Beads

Here are some of the random designs I made over the last few days. I plan on making some other designs soon. Just want to do some more music, painting, and writing first. I took the Space Invaders I made a while back and put magnets on the back. Oh, I will add one more painting I did recently covering a previous design that did not come out the way I wanted.

Strange Acrylic Painting

I did this earlier today using a canvas that had a tear in it. I ended up using two blues, pink, yellow, red, black, and I forget what else. I wasn't trying too hard because of the rip in the canvas and just wanting to experiment. This damn thing turned out pretty cool looking! Also I hung up some pictures in the kitchen using my new camera. I love my new camera.
