My kid made me a set of pacman ghosts, with fruit and pacman. Looks great. Decided to make a feature wall going down to my basement gamerooms. Think it turned out great. (also note: these are done with high quality perler beads. Not cheap knockoffs. The bond better and much higher quality melting plastic than the cheap stuff)

She told me to tell people she will make them sets if they like and told me to tell everyone I know (she's 11), so here you go. 2 different sizes available and many other video games available.

Large pacman set (shown) $50 shipped (to the US)

Includes your choice of

Pacman or Mrs.pacman
Any color ghost combinations, plus direction of eyes
Your choice of 1 piece of fruit.

She can do a half size set as well for $30 shipped.

She can also many any video game that's 8bit or 16bit.

Centipede
Joust
Zelda
Minecraft
Donkey Kong (pictures coming soon later in the thread)
Qbert
dig dug
and anything else you may want.DSCN1424_(resized).JPGDSCN1424_(resized).JPGinternet_version_(resized).JPGinternet_version_(resized).JPG

Nice job!

#3 7 years ago

Can you do characters from other arcade games?

#4 7 years ago

How do we order? PAypal for $$?

#5 7 years ago

send a PM if you'd like to buy something. She will make per order.

#6 7 years ago

What are they made of?

#8 7 years ago

It takes a lot of time and patience to make that pearler bead art, especially that size... Good for her! I hope she sells tons of 'em!!

-Steve

#9 7 years ago

yea, took her 7 hours to make all 6. Each ghost is well over 800 beads.

#10 7 years ago

Really awesome, man. Tell her great work. I know how fragile those things can be. Are you a little nervous about shipping?

#11 7 years ago

Guess I overlooked the other games you had listed. pm sent

Quoted from bdaley6509:

She melts them together front and back, so they are very durable. You can actually flex and bend them without problems.

#13 7 years ago
Quoted from TK2012:

she can pretty much do any video game you want. 16 bit systems and lower look the best. Otherwise they have to be insanely large to capture the detail.

#14 7 years ago

Here is some of the Donkey Kong ones she is working on for a customer. This set will also include the oil barrel on fire, as well as a hammer and Donkey Kong (larger than pacman ghosts) (which will be shown as soon as they are done). This set is also $50, with your choice of Donkey Kong pose, mario pose, fireball color, and choice of oil barrel, as well as barrel positions (side or front view). all to scale with each other. Also a Zelda heart necklace she did for someone else.

donkey_kong_pieces_internet_(resized).jpgdonkey_kong_pieces_internet_(resized).jpg

Note: mario is around 3" high, and pauline is around 4". Donkey kong is going to be over 6.5"

#15 7 years ago

looks awesome...

#16 7 years ago

i'll have more pics available. I think there is a frogger and DigDug set coming up soon as well. Perhaps even a Joust set. Since it is almost fathers day.

#17 7 years ago

Can you take a few close up pic's
Those look really cool
Awesome way to make some summer cash!

These are better than a Lemonade stand any day of the week, and I can tell at only 11 she is very cultured!
Fine parenting job there, well done sir, well done

#18 7 years ago

Very nice looking items. She is going to pay for college herself then...

#19 7 years ago

if you click on the picture, you can zoom in. They are pretty hi rez pics. It was hard for me to get the lighting where the flash didn't bleach out the color.

#21 7 years ago

just completed a Mrs.pacman set with strawberry for a customer. This is the large set, which the ghosts are around 5.5" high.

Working hard on Donkey kong, who is a lot bigger than you think. Complete donkey kong set pics coming soon.

#23 7 years ago

Full Donkey Kong set done. For donkey kong, you get your choice of Donkey kong pose. One arm up, both down, or rolling the barrel. Choice of mario pose. Color of fire. Oil barrel on fire, low fire or high fire. barrels either side shot, or down ladder shot.

Child labor laws?

#25 7 years ago

I don't think it's child labor when it's her business. I don't have anything to do with it except taking the orders and using my accounts for her payments. If anything, i'm being exploited by free labor without any gains. All I know is if a Joust Set doesn't show up for fathers day. I'm quitting.

#26 7 years ago

after she finishes a Frogger and Dig Dug set, she will be all caught up, so If anyone wants anything, this is the time, before she gets backed up.

#27 7 years ago

Very impressive work! Where do you guys get the patterns for these? Do you make them yourself or is there a place you're downloading them from?

#28 7 years ago

she just takes them from the actual graphics from the actual arcade and matches them up pixel per pixel.

#29 7 years ago
Quoted from CaptainNeo:

plastic. they are about 1/4" thick.

Technically they are perler beads. That way people can know roughly what they will look like.
I made my wife a set of the flowers from mario. They turned out great.

#30 7 years ago

yes. I've mentioned the perler beads several times in this thread. Perler beads are the highest quality of the plastic bead fuse products. They fuse very well and durable.

#31 7 years ago

That's actually really cool and a great way for her to enjoy the hobby while making a few bucks. Good luck.

#32 7 years ago

Any pics of a joust rider?

#33 7 years ago

Any pictures of Frogger?

#34 7 years ago

shes' almost done with the frogger set. the customer wanted a short log, 1 turtle, Frog, purple car. Everything is done except the purple car. Then I"ll post pictures of the frogger set.

Joust rider hopefully will be soon. Told her I want player 1, player 2, and couple enemy riders and a egg or two. Maybe the buzzard.

#35 7 years ago

Frogger set revealed. this is the Large Frogger set. Ruler added to show length. that short log is huge.

This thread is giving me nightmares of sorting beads.

#37 7 years ago

I'm super jealous of that tool in her hand. The worst part is having to hold and place each of the individual damn things. It wasn't the color sorting, I can handle that. It's trying to make them stay still on the stupid little pegs.

#38 7 years ago

Nice. But is it clearcoated?

#39 7 years ago

The price of these are really good for the amount of work involved. I've spent many hours doing perler bead art and don't doubt at least 7 hrs work in these.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

yea, took her 7 hours to make all 6. Each ghost is well over 800 beads.

That tool she's using looks super cool, I've never seen one of them before. All of the stuff I've done was by hand, picking Beads out of a bin.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

she can pretty much do any video game you want. 16 bit systems and lower look the best. Otherwise they have to be insanely large to capture the detail.

8 bit games are the best, you can make entire screenshots of games with a couple thousand beads. I don't want to derail the thread, but you can get pretty creative if you do go into more detailed larger pieces of art. Here's a couple that I made that are large pictures.

I've found many cool images online to copy, and I think my next two projects will be these.
image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

There are also apps that make perler bead patterns from pictures. I suppose at the right scale you could recreate an entire Playfield.

#40 7 years ago

she loves your art. That bowser one must have taken forever. The pen tool is really nice. basically you load the hopper up and you can lay down beads around 4 times faster. Problem is, sometimes is jams up because a bead gets stuck sideways, and you cannot get in areas that have beads all around it without knocking the other ones over. She will expand into the really large stuff. But she's worried that she would have to charge so much, nobody would want them.

#41 7 years ago

128x32 DMD artwork would be easy to do Perler bead style.

She could even colorize it

#42 7 years ago

Holy crap! This thread is awesome!! Love this!! I might have to buy a set!

#43 7 years ago

yes, she could. that is a great idea.

#45 7 years ago

Can she do 80s arcade characters? I'm thinking the 4 turtles from the 1989 TMNT arcade game here.

#46 7 years ago

she can do anything you want. TMNT is around 16 bit, so she can do it fairly easy. The higher the rez of the game, the bigger it has to be to make it look good. Cost is based upon size.

#47 7 years ago

Here is a teaser pic of Dig dug and joust. I had her make me a small set of the joust. Dig Dug is a large. SO you can see the size comparison.

Smalls are $5 a bird (or character). Or if you get really smalls like eggs, you would get 4 eggs for the $5. I'm having her make me a grey enemy and a blue standing hatched enemy and a player 2 flying. So that set would be $35 shipped. (small joust set)

#48 7 years ago

Dig Dug set finally done. Fire was a huge undertaking and took her a long time to do. fire alone is 18" long in large form.

Dig dug set is $60 if you want full fire (pictured), medium fire is $50 and small fire is $40. Or you can get it without fire, and maybe with hover versions of fygor or pooka.

The full dmd is 4096 pixels, and a bitch to iron together without messing it up. I did the CCC attract screen in 3 shades like a regular dmd. Wouldn't be so bad if she just did portions of the screens.
