Finally, after all this time, my awesome craft piece is done!!!
Made entirely out of fused Perler beads (no glue on this), it's a representation of Frog's most powerful sword, the Masamune, and it's keepers, Masa and Mune. The piece is about a foot-and-a-half tall, and uses roughly 1500 Perler beads. Needless to say, this was my most ambitious project I've done in beads, but, I think it came out pretty damn well.
One of the reasons I created this was to enter
Sprite Stitche's monthly art challenge, where you had to create a craft based around your favorite powerups or accessories. Of course, the Masamune was the first thing to pop into my head, because I love Chrono Trigger so much. If you'd like to submit your own craft project for the contest (ANY craft is eligible), or, to vote mine as the most awesome craft (which it
so totally is), hop on over to the Sprite Stitch
forums.
Also, for anyone interested, I have a new Etsy store I set up to sell off some of my Perler creations. If you like what you see, direct your vision thisaway -------------------------->
and you'll see a link to the page, and an e-mail to reach me at if you's like a custom designed piece.
I'll be emailing you when I recover from my Galaga Legions, Castle Crashers, Braid, and Bionic Commando losses.
