Fire Kirby Perler Bead Sprite

"HotHotHot"

     As I have mentioned before in my first Kirby post, I love the Kirby Squeak Squad game as well as Super Star Ultra and one of my favourite Kirby fighters is Fire Kirby!!! Like my Ice Kirby, this one has a head band with a square "gem" on it, but this time it's green and accompanied with a wonderful display of perler bead fire! This one is in the difficult/hard category because that fire took a long time to get just right. Up close, it may not seem very dimensional, but back up a bit, and your eyes will light up :). Of course with this Kirby, there is the classic pink body, so make sure you have a lot of reds and pinks for this project!

     This perler Kirby is about the size of my hand, so it is pretty big and will take up most of the board. These big perler bead creations may be hard to iron, so be careful and make sure every part of Fire Kirby gets an equally distributed amount of heat! You don't want him to be too hot.

Floppy Disk Perler Bead Coasters

"Good ol' Floppy Disks"  

    

 As a former grade 10 computer science student, my compsci teacher introduced to me the exciting world of computers, hardware, software, data and of course, ancient technology XD. Now I have to say, I really did not like a course all about computers and coding because I really had no interest in it and I am simply not good at math. Functions, loops, flowcharts, decisions, algorithms, complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)...that's literally all I remember from that course. WHY GUIDANCE, WHY? At least I got an 88% average with the help of some computer nerds...I mean enthusiasts... and I can make a picture appear and disappear using decisions on Visual Basic! Yay. At one point, my teacher started talking about memory devices including RAM, magnetic storage devices, DVDs, CDs, optical storage devices, hard drives, solid state storage devices and of course floppy disks! They were the most interesting looking things he had in the room because they were so colourful :D, but as I looked at these strange pieces of plastic that have also been lying in the old boxes of my parents' closet, I thought, "Hey, these make great coasters for my drinks!" So here you have it! If you don't have any real floppy disks to use as a coaster...make these!

Making A Floppy Disk Coaster:

-1 Mini Square Pegboard Length 14

You can go crazy with all sorts of colours, but this is just the general shape of a floppy disk. ;)
