We don't deserve Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders should be the President of the United States.  He has been fucked out of the nomination TWICE.  It's infuriating. 


Well, we do have Joe Biden now and we are rid of the orange fucktard.  Not to get super political or anything.


Well, this picture of Bernie at the Biden's inauguration went viral.  He looks like he's pouting, but really, it's January in DC so I'm sure he was pretty cold.  


Naturally, I had to make a sprite...I love it.  I made it at Amanda's last night and we all had a good laugh.  Poor Bernie.  




Zim and Gir

I was really wanting to do some Perler Bead sprites last night and decided I'd finally do my Invader Zim and Gir heads.  I used regular sized beads.  I think they came out pretty cute!

This is Zim as a human...


And here is Gir when he is working properly... which... is rare.

Demigorgon

 I made this one for my friend Amanda's son Gino.  He is OBSESSED with Stranger Things.  It was really easy and came together pretty quickly.  I was really happy with him. He's made with regular sized beads.

We may not be the Young Ones very long

 The Young Ones is amazing.  It's SO stupid, but it's just also so funny.  It's a British show from the early 1980s and starred Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson, Nigel Planer and Christopher Ryan.  It was crass and punk rock.  It was absurd and poorly done.  It was subversive and unapologetic.  And I love it so, so much.  


Here are my oung Ones Sprites.  Here we have..

Vyvyan Bastard (Ade Edmondson)

Mike the Cool Guy (Christopher Ryan)

Neil the Hippie (Nigel Planer)

Rik "The People's Poet" (Rik Mayall)

A Couple Random Perler Sprites (that I did not fuck up this time)

 I used a guillotine cross stitch pattern from Night Spirit Studio for this guillotine.


And here is a skull couple from a Makoto Oozu pattern.  At least I was able to iron and not fuck these up... I'm still pissed about Spiderman.  lol

Spiderman Perler Fail

I purchased this Spiderman Perler Beads kit and worked on it for days.  I thought it would look great mounted on a big canvas.




It's a pretty big piece, as you can see... I tried to iron it and it fell apart.  I can't even bear to get a picture.  UGH!  I was so fucking PISSED.  Beads and time wasted.  I don't even know how people do these massive pieces.  I have seen a lot of different tips, so maybe I'll try them.  What happens is when I melt one side, the other beads pop up because the melted part is now smaller than the non-melted part and it fucking pops up.  I have seen some people say if you use masking tape on it and iron on top of the masking tape, it should work.  I may try that.  Or I may stick to smaller pieces... 

SO FRUSTRATING OH MY FUCKING GOD.

Tiny Perler Sprites

 Here is a collection of Perler sprites I made from mini beads this past weekend.  They are so fun to make!  


We have tiny ghosts made with glow in the dark beads, an eyeball bow, a Hufflepuff bow, a tiny grim reaper, a tiny Batman symbol, a lego guy head, another tiny ghost, a Mighty Boosh face and a planchette.  I got all of these designs on Pinterest.

La la la la la.

 I am Gen X to the T, and I love Daria.  It was another Mike Judge thing I didn't think I'd like.  I used to watch it late at night on MTV when I lived on Wallingstone with my ex and his family in Austin.  We had a little room and we had a big TV in there and I was always watching MTV.  I miss how they used to have actual videos along with other kinds of shows.  People always told me that I reminded them of Jane because I dressed like that and my hair was like hers for a while, and I'm a sarcastic asshole.  LOL I always took it as a compliment!

I recently watched Daria and.. well... it doesn't really hold up BUT I still like it because it's still got that nostalgia that I am always craving.  I made these late last year and then stuck them on a canvas I painted using E-600 glue yesterday!

Friendly Faces Everywhere, Humble Folks Without Temptation...

 How cute are these South Park heads?  I made them from mini beads for my sweet husband on Sunday.  I plan to make the rest of the characters as well.

Ineffable Husbands

 I am OBSESSED with Good Omens.  It's so good, and the characters are so cute.  I have a cross stitch pattern for Crowley and Aziraphale so I made this cute little canvas! Crowley's skin is a little dark, but I think it still works.
