Geeky Crafts and Crafty Geeks

I'm always on the lookout for hobbies that express my love of videogames and things geeky in general. So, when I came across the hobby of making bead sprites I just had to make a few. The way it works is that you place little round beads on a pegboard in the pattern you want to make. Then you iron them with some wax paper, and the beads fuse. A great website to learn about these creations and look at galleries of what others have made is PixelGasm. I can be found on PixelGasm here.

Here are some of my favorite creations:
