Koopa Troopa Perler Bead Sprite

"Koopa Koopa!"

    For all those dedicated Mario gamers out there, Koopa Troopas are often seen in game as the enemies who are under the leadership of the one and only, BOWSER! But when I saw Koopa Troopa for the first time, I just loved it's look and name and I even named my own turtle Koopa after this character. I am also very fond of Yoshi because you just have to love him! I have the 3DS XL with the Yoshi design and I love his bright colours! Of course, my brother was actually the first one who decided to be fully dedicated to Yoshi because at the time, I always played Dry Bones or Mario in Mario Kart. So, I have found my new character that I will often use in Mario Kart Wii and he is now permanently pixelated as this awesome perler bead sprite!

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

-Dimension Reach:  Length 14

-Time: Approx. 5 minutes 

Colours:

1---Brown

94---Light Blue

70---Turqouise

29--- White

*2 Spaces Left Empty

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

Legend Of Zelda Perler Bead Link

"Call Me Zelda One More Time..."

     This perler bead sprite of Link from the Legend of Zelda video game series was one of the first few perler bead sprites I ever made. If you are a big fan of this series, you will love making a Link sprite and you can definitely change the colour of it to match the Link(s) from The Legend of Zelda Four Swords! (That would include green, blue, red and purple Link).
