That's very nice of you to say, thanks so much! When I make the bigger project I just link the standard 29x29 bead boards together - it gives me flexibility in size and also allows for easy storage when they're not in use! And for colours I use both Perler and Hama beads, to get a wide range.

I'm just finishing up a big project now, so will have a pic up in the next couple of days :grin:

Here's my latest:

Katy Perry

Very happy with how she came out, considering the amount of manual fixing I had to do on her eyes, necklace, eyebrows, fingernails... Worth it! :grin:

Akuma took a long time, it was the flames that really took a long time. I think the end result is pretty spectacular though!

Thanks! I'd never heard of Morrigan until I did this, but her sprites are pretty cool!

Thanks! The flames were the labour intensive part, but I think they make the sprite all the more impressive!
