Magnets

It seems like I've been doing fewer shirts recently, but this entry is still sprite related! These are magnets made with Perler beads.


Final Fantasy V


Super Mario Brothers 3

Perler beads are placed onto pegboards and then heat-set using an iron. The beads come in many different colors, so I was able to use SNES sprites for these magnets (the Mario 3 magnets are from the SNES remake, for instance)


They're quite fun for making a scene on your fridge...

Super Mario Bros. 3

I do have to notice I've done a few from this game already - then again, it's my favorite platformer. I think there's probably a good number of people out there who can agree that SMB3 was an amazing insight into just how deep and enjoyable a game can be by combining a simple concept and gameplay with fantastic level design. Hearing some of SMB3's music remixed in the soundtrack of Super Mario Galaxy made me very, very happy.

(I must apologize for the poor photo quality. This one really doesn't compare to seeing the shirt in person, the colors are much more vibrant, and there's only so much iPhoto can do to a shot. I normally take my photos at night when there's less ambient window light, but this one was an early morning photo. At some point I'm going to make a whitebox so I can take some more decent photos, or maybe just catch a few of these shirts in use!)
