I didn’t really get the appeal of Perler beads. (They’re these colored plastic beads you arrange into patterns, then fuse together using an iron.) But after making a few things with them, I realize it’s yet another art form in which you represent something under very explicit constraints. It feels a lot like doing pixel art.
Here is Super Rabbit Boy, made by the guy, and a snake based on a Snake from Press Start (the books that feature Super Rabbit Boy), made by me.
