Hello there!
I've been busy working on the perler pieces for the Pixel Sprite Collab. There will be new posts sporadically as I finish and photograph them. In order to gear up for the long-term, I wandered over to the Perler site since I'm running low on several key colors. What I noticed is things have changed a bit since the last time I ordered beads. They seem to have added quite a few new colors and shades to the lineup. I bought several of them in addition to the colors I needed in a big batch. It looks like I'm going to need to update the Perler Color guide. Between the new colors I picked up after I posted that and some of the recent additions, there will definitely be more to capture. While I didn't grab every new color variant I saw, I think the information will be useful. I'll get to work on that once the shipment comes in.
Thanks for stopping by!

I Live
Okay, look. It's been a long time since I posted on here. I know. I'm sorry for folks that were regularly following my work. Life has been busy and it's been kind of a nuts last year with the whole pandemic situation. That being said, I am planning on getting back to work making large perler pieces this Fall/Winter. I've got a whole pile that are punched and ready to be ironed that I didn't get finished last year. Then there's another set of patterned perlers that need to be punched and added to the pile. I may actually have enough to post for a while if I can just devote some time to ironing them all. More to come. -Mp
Artkal Beads Coming Soon
Hello there! I haven't posted an update in a while so I thought I'd mention something that will be showing up here soon. I recently learned about Artkal beads, a competing brand to Perler. The brand is known for its huge palette of colors so I bought a shipment of shades for my projects. I plan on doing a color shade guide for the ones I got and will also be talking about my experience mixing Artkal with Perler beads here as well. Since it looks like the Artkal stock is shipping from overseas, it will be a bit but I'll post an update once I get a chance to check them out. See you soon! ~Mp
Summer 2020 Update
Happy Summer! Boy, the world certainly is in a state now, isn't it? It's nuts to see all sorts of news and events happening at what seems like a daily pace. Hopefully everyone is staying safe out there. As a long-overdue update, I'm not dead! I know posts and updates have been sparse since Winter and I'm going to try and get more updates out. I'm currently working on another big batch of the Pixel Sprite Collab perlers. A couple have been beaded and taped with another large one on the table. I'd like to get several completed and photographed soon so I'll have things to post over the next coming weeks. Thank you for visiting! ~Mp
Early Winter Update
Seasonally Appropriate Greetings,
Activity here on DA has been slow these last few months. I have finished several Pixel Collab pieces and I plan on posting them in the next couple months. With the holidays coming up, I'm hoping to get some downtime to start working on the next batch. I did notice that the Perler site has some new color shades up. Between that and the last batch I got, it might be time to update the color guide. If I do that, it will be a 2.5 version with just new shades I think. We'll see.
