The Dude would be so proud. Matthew Deatley sent me this picture from his Facebook album, asking if we knew what the “melty beads” were, and I fell in love with this Big Lebowski in Perler Beads. Perhaps not “geeky”, but totally cool.
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to go back and fully watch some of my favourite TV series (instead of mindlessly watching whatever TiVo suggests). This weekend Hubby and I started Avatar: The Last Airbender (anyone else remember when you could say Avatar and people wouldn’t think you meant the James Cameron movie?). This Aang pixel art by Geek Mythology was found on DeviantArt, and if you like this you should check out what else they have on DeviantArt and in their shops. It makes me want to create a whole mural of game and anime characters in my house… if I had the time or bead supply for it. Meanwhile, I’m going to go finish Book 1!
I was on AttackoftheCraft.com and found this fabulous Perler bead Pacman ghost bracelet!
Show off your love for old school and awesome gaming with this beauty. Not a bracelet person? Fear not, she also sells them as earrings!

Not only do I blog about crafts, sometimes I even make crafts. I’m not quite sure how I came up with the idea to make a portrait of Mr. T with Perler beads, but after many trips to the craft store, sorting beads and ordering more beads online, he was complete. It took over 10,000 beads to make Mr. T and he is more than two feet high!
Check back tomorrow for more Mr. T crafts!
