Crafty Geeks: Pixel Perfect Bead Sprites

 The thing I like about being a geek is that I have varied interests, eclectic tastes, you might say. It's nice to know that there are other folks out there in the geek community that are also eclectic in nature. From Buffy to Battlestar Gallactica, these geeks are not only interested in books and movies, but being crafty as well. In this spotlight, I will feature some of my favorite crafty geeks and their trades.


Pixel Perfect Bead Sprites is a new business that brings some of your favorite characters from movies, video games, and comic books and gives them an 8-bit effect. These small pieces of artwork are created by taking Pearler beads and putting them onto a small pegged frame. Jeremy takes many different colors of beads to create his designs and when the design is finished, he uses an iron to fuse the beads together to create a lasting, finished piece.

RPG Spotlight: Dragon Age

It has been hundreds of years since the last Blight ravaged the world of Thedas. Many believe that it can never happen again, that the Dragon Age will pass without the rise of such evil. They are wrong. Beneath the earth the darkspawn stir. A new archdemon has risen and with it a Blight that will scourge the lands and darken the skies. The nations of Thedas need a new generation of heroes, but who will answer the call?

The Voyage Home

Paperclips, why did it have to be paperclips?

I apologize for my disappearance from the blogisphere this week. I was really busy last weekend with work events in between celebrations for my birthday and gaming. Then, on Tuesday, I started a new job and worked it and my after-school gig until Friday when the kids got out for the summer. Needless to say, I didn't have much time for blogging.

I'm really excited about my new job and although it's just a temporary position, I'm hoping that it might turn into something more permanent, which would be nice. I was able to go ahead and get Lil Indy and Ariel, two of my desktop staples set up and I need to put up all of my pictures to really personalize the space.
