I think I'm addicted to making these giant hama (perler) bead characters! This time I've done Tinkerbell from Peter Pan. She seems to have taken ages to make (probably about a week) but it didn't help that I ran out of beads twice and had to wait for more to come before I could continue!
Anyway, here she is -

She's nearly 40 inches tall - the biggest I've done so far - and is currently up on our living room wall!

EDIT: Here are the other ones I've done - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24001167@N04/

I loved Rainbow Brite when I was little, and I was in the supermarket the other day and I came across the whole series on DVD, so I've been watching it loads and have rediscovered my love for it all over again, even though I'm 23 now! And I'm desperately wishing that my mom hadn't thrown out all the Rainbow Brite stuff I had when I was younger!
So I got out my hama beads and made this -

She's 25 inches tall, and is going up on the wall next to my Betty Boop (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=248568.msg2755581) and Totoro (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=247989.msg2748383).
I seem to be starting a collection of giant hama bead characters... Now I just have to decide what to make next!

It's taken me two days to finish this and I'm really pleased with her - perler bead Betty Boop. (They're called Hama beads over here in the UK!)



I've been having trouble getting hama bead designs off the pegboards lately so I was a bit worried about trying something this big, but I finally figured out that my iron was on too low a heat setting! *headdesk*
Erm, what else?
She's 30 inches tall by 13 inches wide, and is stuck to the wall with pink blu-tack right above my bed. (Won't I get a nice shock if she falls down in the middle of the night?!)
I did follow a picture but it lost half the detail when I zoomed in, so I had to make up some parts as I went along. Her face, and jewellery, shoes, etc, are all my doing! 

Thanks for looking!
Now I can't wait to do more big designs. I'm thinking Rainbow Brite might be next!

So, I absolutely love the movie My Neighbour Totoro, and I love playing with Perler beads (Hama beads here in the UK!) I just had to do something with the two together! 



He's 20 inches high and 12 inches wide, and has pride of place at the centre of my empty wall! I know he's not very evenly melted, and his whiskers look awful because they were a nightmare to get to stay on. The first ones broke off and I had to melt those on after the rest was completed, which is why they look over-melted and wonky!
