8-Bit Art: 3D Pokemon House Project

Unfortunately Canada Post is in the middle of a contract negotiation and there is a possibly now of postal strike as soon as Friday. This possible strike has left me no choice but to put my Etsy store, Pixelized Creations on vacation mode until the issue is resolved and I know for sure my packages can go out without fear of them getting stuck in transit.

This has left me though with tons of time to work on new fused bead art projects, so I decided to enter a contest on instagram where you had to make a fused bead art piece with a Pokemon theme. I decided to make a little scene with Ash and Pikachu fighting another trainer with their pokemon. Then it escalated into a bigger piece with a house, plants etc. And then I decided to make the house 3D. I had to play around with a couple different concepts before I got the piece to finally fit.

The final project I think turned out pretty darn good though. It is made completely from perler/hama beads and a little bit of e6000 glue. I used only black, white, grey, dark grey and hama brand's translucent grey colour. Not sure how many beads I used total but I know I went through 3.5 bags of grey beads roughly which is 3500 beads.

The patterns I got mostly from the Pokemon Red/Blue game though I had to come up with the garden soil and side/back of the house patterns on my own. The 3D house pattern is completely my own design too.

I will plan to sell this when the postal strike is over with. I am not sure about the pricing but I will let people know if they are interested in purchasing it now. I can always look into other couriers for this like FedEx or UPS.

I will update everyone when my store reopens. Pixelized Creations

Pixel Art: Calicifer the Fire Demon from Howl's Moving Castle

From Howl's Moving Castle, it's Calicifer the Fire Demon.

He is made completely out of perler fused beads. He works on a slot and tab system to snap together to make a base that holds a fake flickering tea light that lights him up in the dark to make him look like he is on fire.

You can watch him light up here.

This is a custom original design by myself at Pixelized Creations. Please do not recreate for commercial purposes. Credit me if you recreate for personal use.

You can purchase this awesome piece for $20 CAN plus shipping on my Etsy Store. He comes with instructions on how to assemble him and the tea light with the battery.

8 Bit Art: Minecraft Themed Cake Topper

Been on a roll this week with new additions to the store. This new piece is a Minecraft themed cake topper.

The cake topper is available for $15 CAN plus shipping. You can purchase here from my Etsy store.

8-Bit Art: R2D2 Stand Up Pixel Art

Another new design out of my Pixelized Creations Etsy store:

R2D2 from the Star Wars franchise - this little droid is made from perler fused beads and he has legs that attached on either side of his body through a tab and slot system that allow him to stand up on any flat surface like a computer desk or shelf.

R2D2's legs are a custom design by Pixelized Creations. Please do not recreate for commercial purposes.

The body is another person's design but I was not able to track down the original creator as it has been recreated so many times.

You can purchase R2D2 via my Etsy store for $10 Canadian plus shipping.

Happy Friday the 13th!

A little retro throwback to celebrate Friday the 13th. My fused bead creation, Jason from the Nintendo NES game, Friday the 13th. I made him with colours from the movies rather than the game though.


And speaking of Friday the 13th games, yesterday the kickstarter project, Friday the 13th game hit its target goal of $700,000. This multiple player game which is being created by Gun Media will allow you to play as Jason Voorhees for the first time ever and have you stalking the camp counselors of Camp Crystal Lake. Or you can play as one of camp counselors as they attempt to survive the night.

This project sees the return of Tom Savini, the makeup mastermind behind the look of the original Jason in Friday the 13th series and Kane Hodder, probably the best actor behind the mask in the series.

There is still 14 hours to go on this kickstarter project if you want to grab a perk while they are still available. Head over to their kickstarter page to check out all the perks which range from $5 to $10,000.

Help me fund my Etsy store, Pixelized Creations again

I have been trying to restart my Etsy store, once Pixelated Creations, but now called Pixelized Creations but due to a lack of funds, I have not been able to get the supplies needed to stock my store with all the best items.

I have a few items up in the store but only old items I have on hand but nothing is selling and so I can't put any money towards buying any new supplies for new items which I know will sell like they used to.

So I have decided to turn to Kickstarter to bank roll my store reopening. There are various pledge levels from $5 to $50 with lots of great reward items like Chocobo & Moogle magnets, Super Mario Bros. Mushroom keychains, Final Fantasy Character 4 magnet sets, Secret of Mana magnets set, and more.

Please check my Kickstarter page out and consider pledging. Once I have reached my goal of $300 (beads are not cheap even though they are a kid's craft), I will get everyone's rewards out as soon as possible.

Check it out here.
