Some more Hama beading

My boyfriend's brothers had their birthdays a few months ago, but due to financial restraints we weren't able get them anything. My boyfriend asked me if I could make them something small we could take with us to England and give them while we are here.

So, what I ended up making was more Hama (Perler) bead coasters, as they are quick and easy to make, and useful too.

Up at the top we have Knuckles, Tails and Sonic, from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. For these coasters I modified sprites from Sonic & Knuckles.

At the bottom is Wario's head from the final stage of Wario Ware Inc.

I was happy with how they came out and I think they were quite happy with them too.

Metroid coaster and thanks

I haven't been doing much crafty since the Hero Chao, but here's a little something I did today. My boyfriend wanted a coaster, so I made him a Metroid  one! This is only the third time I've used Hama beads (these are the same as Perler beads, I think, just a different company) and I haven't quite got the ironing part right, you can see I melted some beads a bit too much along the left side.

I realised while ironing this that I get the iron out more often for craft things than for ironing clothes, and promptly ironed the massive pile of laundry that was lying around...

I would also like to thank you guys, because today I hit 10,000 page views! I'm pleased with that, so thanks!
