Happy Halloween

Halloween is fast approaching and I am really surprised that time has gone by so fast. It feels like just the other week it was my birthday.
I have been beading quite a bit lately and I have a lot to share with you all.

About a month or so ago, I managed to get a hold of something called Hama mini beads. Now the normal beads can see very small to some people but they are nothing in compared to mini beads.

Now you see the difference. The one on the right is the regular one and the one on the left is the mini bead. It's insane how tiny they are. I use a tack just to bead with them.

These are two Mario mushrooms so you can really see the size difference when it comes to sprites.

I look forward to more work with mini beads. They are so much easier to make necklaces with.

So the other week, I was testing out a blacklight bulb for some stuff for work. I turn around to see my wall by my bed glowing.

I LOVE my bedroom wall now. I have yet to take the blacklight out of my bedside lamp. Glow in the dark beads are great under a blacklight.

Now I have posted before about pieces done by Gallio from PixelGasm. Well he has yet again managed to outdo himself. He made these really cool ghosts that in day light look one way and at night glow a different ghost. He was nice enough to share the patterns with me so I could make them.



I made this portrait of Jason Bateman in anticipation of the Arrested Development Movie. I am a HUGE fan of Jason Bateman and will watch anything he is in. So this seemed appropriate to make.

Well I have some commissions to work on for Christmas. So those will be posted once they are done. Happy Halloween Everyone.

A RPG Comic..... and guess who is a character!

Yours truely is now a comic character. On good old Pixelgasm, some members have started a RPG comic. A bunch of us are characters and I tell you now, it's pretty awesome.
The characters are cute and somehow I have already ended up with a cute quirk. I talk about singing to heal. It makes me giggle.
Now there are two wonderful guys at the front of making this and they both deserve a huge credit. With writing, designing characters and just being awesome. Thank you so much Richard and Jake. Love this comic and you guys to death.

I am adding a tab at the top for the whole comic so far so it's easier to view and come back to whenever there is an update(will be posted on the FB page so like the page)

Now onto the beading part of this. I have done every character that is currently in the comic and plan on doing a cool poster or two for the apartment.


That is of course myself, Angel


This is Rumble

This is CuththroatPixel


This is Crausse.

This is Doc and Ein


This is Edd(CTP's husband)


This is Xstatic


This is Bettinasgj.


This is BobbeyJazz(hense the sax)


This is Gallio. The character is a girl but the person in real life is a guy with long hair. Seems appropriate.

This is PRS and Gracie(her cat)

This is RawrMonster


This is SpriteKnight. He makes all kinds of knights for his bead art.


This is Anphobia


This is Throbz.


This is Ronin


And finally this is Redherring.

These people are some of the coolest cats I know and however dorky our own comic may be, we all love it. So be sure to read it and comment on it.

Summer Breeze...

Well this month has been crazy to say the least, vacation, my birthday and a whole bunch of weekend activities. But I promise you, I am coming back with 3 posts. So hurray for that.This post is mostly just an update on some of the pieces I have worked on over the last little while.


This piece was from the sprites at Iotacons.
He does these weird 8-bit characters and I just love them. These were a birthday present for my friend. Beatles are her favourite band.


Fred Astaire has got to be my favourite old time actor. The way he danced and moved, I just love him. I will watch anything he is in. So of course my wall had to have him.


Back in February, I posted an image of a Link. It was done by Gallio from Pixelgasm and I just loved it. I finally got around to doing it and even though I changed the colours from green to a light red, I think it turned out really cute. I changed it to this light red because I had so many of these colours(blush and coral red). I love the look of them but I never manage to find something to use them for.

One of my favourite pieces that has floated around this great community is by Redherring. He did this cool 9 piece Megaman piece. So what had popped into my brain was a Kirby one. Because who doesn't love that pink fluff ball. Mine is the 7 levels of Kirby's Adventure for NES. Each piece is 50x50 and took me about an hour to two per one to make.


One of my favourite movies is Nightmare Before Christmas. We owned about 10 VHS as a kid and this was one of them. I watch it every Halloween and Christmas. Because it gives me a chance to watch it at least twice in a 2 month period.Now one of the first larger projects I ever done was an Oogie Boogie and it is still one of the best pieces I've ever done. Something so cool about it.Well I got it into my head that I needed to make another one but this time he should glow in the dark because he does in the movie.




Now these next three pieces are almost an inside joke of sorts but it's too cute and funny not to share. A while back, Redherring made the most delicious looking cakes I have ever seen. I wanted to eat them instantly.

See.... so cute and yummy. Well I made a comment about it and of course through the course of everyone, it became a big thing about if it's wrong to murder cakes or maybe we shouldn't eat anything with a face. My brain went into overdrive and this is what I came up with



See... now the cakes are being murdered. I love them and their cute little freaked out eyes.

Finally some quick Pokemon



I love working with the periwinkle and blueberry creme colours. They don't get used much, like the blush and hot coral. So when I get to use them, I get excited.


A huge update I must say, and two more posts coming this week. The interview with Rob Hawks that I promised and a RPG comic involving the members of Pixelgasm.

365 days of Beading

So over the past year, there has been this guy named Rob Hawks that beads something once a day, Today was day 365. I have to say this, I cried a little bit. It doesn't seem like a year since he started and I am so proud to see him stick to it.
There were times he was getting low on colours and having to be real creative. He really inspired me. The dedication he had to this project was amazing.

So this post is dedicated to an awesome guy, Rob Hawks.
Love you and proud of you buddy!
Knowing you, you'll bead tomorrow and the day after lol.

Also, he made a video to show everything he did over the past year. So I want you all to check it out and see just how much he put into the projects. Yes, he did iron every single project he made.



I will be doing an interview with him very shortly.
