3D Galaga Enemy Perler Beads

Made this string of Galaga enemies a few minutes ago. I like the way it came out even though one cheap bead snuck its way into the design. You have to be careful about mixing brands.

3D Pac Man Ghosts Perler Beads

Yesterday I was trying to figure out what to make while also realizing that I do not have enough of certain color Perler beads. Low as hell on yellows, grays, and close to zero white ones. I ended up making this Pac Man ghosts using whites from an old Duck Hunt design I had done and pulled apart years ago and saved. I can't do that pull apart with new designs because I iron those solid now. This came out pretty cool and in the future I'll try this with more characters.

Donkey Kong Jr And Galaga 3D Perler Beads

I was looking at some of my old designs and I really miss making these. I decided to make some 3D designs or Donkey Kong Jr. and Galaga, the player two model which I've never done.

Snake Plant Cuttings

I finally worked up the nerve to get some snake plant cuttings the other day. I have had this snake plant for a couple of years and when I first got it thought I was being cute and put it in a triangle basket on my wall. I wondered why after so long there was no change in it. Eventually I took it out and saw it was crammed. The roots were a mess. I know they like to have some cramming going on but it was bad. I took it out and potted it properly and the thing went out of control growing.

I took two cuttings from it and there are about eight left in there that I'm gonna leave alone unless one of my friends as for it. I have three other pots with thicker snake plants of the same type but want to eventually get those ones that are darker and get all tall.

New Ficus Elastica Ruby Plant

I got this new ficus elastica ruby plant at Trader Joe's a couple days ago. I did not plan on getting another plant but saw it and wanted it. It was just over five bucks. It did not have its name on it so Sarah suggested a plant group and was able to find its name. I added some perlite and mosquito bits because I saw it had some friends inside. Seems like it should be easy to take care of. I just gotta find out where to put the thing. I have over 80 plants!

New Birthday Plant

A few days ago my best friend got me a Dracaena Angolensis plant also known as an African Spear plant. I have seen these before and love the way they look but never thought to get one for myself. From what I've read they are not difficult to take care of and even grow a crazy ass flower. I have already watered it once and put it in a draining pot. It is nuts how when you get plants as gifts the pots do not drain. That is something I learned years ago after thinking plants just kinda die because they are in pots.

New Plant And Gnat Killing

A few weeks ago I got some dirt for my plants and being a lazy ass did not bake my dirt. Yes, I bake dirt. Half an hour, let it cool, and use it. It kills whatever may be living in it. I also add some cinnamon. Anyhoot, I didn't bake it and a few days later started being assaulted by gnats. For weeks I have put off buying mosquito bits even when I had the chance to. Well today I bought some and repotted some plants as well as bought a new one because it was cute.

This is an Njoy pothos (Epipremnum aureum). I saw it at Anawalt and had to get it. I have not had this type of pathos/pothos and like these kinda of plants because they grow. I know it sounds weird but I like plants that change and don't grow slowly even though I do have a few of those.

3D Back To The Future Perler Bead

I started making a different design and after realizing that I so did not have enough of the right color beads I decided to make a Back To The Future design. I made the Marty McFly and thought about adding a Delorean. I found one that was not massive on Redbubble using a design by 8bitpoet. I really like the way this came out.

Fun With Pixlr (Photoshop) Part 79

Here are more pictures of me! The last few were made using Pixlr X. They rolled it out last year after announcing that Pixlr Express was gonna go away at the end of this year. I tried it then and it was garbage and I was prepping myself to no longer put myself in weird photos anymore which honestly sucked. But they have now updated it and it is so easy to use. One click can erase entire colors. I no longer have to hunt down png files of statues to use and just do it myself now in a second. Its great. Click here for previous Fun With Pixlr.

The Child aka Baby Yoda Perler Bead

Today I did this Perler bead of The Child aka Baby Yoda. I don't want to use watermarks on my photos but there are too many people now straight up taking my photos and posting them on etsy and ebay and selling them. I do not mind someone using a design I have made especially considering I got the Baby Yoda design from a pixel (three people are selling the sprite version and all three I have found claim ownership of it) and I got the pod design from JBrosGaming on Youtube. But being so lazy as to not just steal the design but not even make it yourself and just take the photo is gross.

Small Acrylic Pours

I did these small acrylic pours last night and let them dry before spraying them with a clear coat. I love how these tiny things came out. I taped them up completely in the back because I knew that while drying and dripping that the paint would make its way back there. These are on tiny hard canvas that I wanna put something on. Not sure what yet though. On one I used blue, purple, and white. Another yellow, orange, and green. And last purple, black, and white.

And another one.

I did another one a few days ago. No need to post a whole 'nother blog for it.

Acrylic Pour With Tape

Last night I decided to finally try using tape with an acrylic pour. I learned a lot of what not to do while doing this. I used three small canvas CK gave me and painted the canvas white. Did not need to do that. After it dried I put the tape and then poured the same colors (white, red, pink, blue, yellow) in different layers on top. Then my goofy as forgot to add the silicone so I dripped it on top. I like the way it came out by it increased the drying time so much. I ended up having to grab a small paint brush and clean up the edges where the white was due to bleeding from the paint as it slipped under the tape.

After waking up it was dry so I sprayed it with an acrylic clear coat and let it dry. I really like the way these came out. Not sure how I am gonna hang them up but it will likely be in my hallway which is empty. Plants in living room, Streets of Rage 2 in kitchen. Those walls are covered.

New Big Ass Congo Plant

I got this big ass Philodendron Congo plant from my friend and her husband. She says they moved it outside and within two days the leaves got a tan and this is the result. She gave it to me and I was gonna just cut off the burnt leaves but sites said that it would shock the plant so for now they stay. There is already a new one growing. I have seen large versions of this and I am hoping this sticks around to get to that point. I will be buying a new pot this weekend for it.
