Bead and Pixel Art

[kelerps]

I found a great display of images demonstrating pixel art from old games with with beads on digg.com. Here is the link:

 

 

I used to have a kit for that type of bead art, you just place the beads on a device that will hold them with little pegs and then apply a heat source on one side. This will leave one side smooth and the other looking normal. Great fun if anyone wants to try it, best part of it is that you get to hold on to something physical and they will last very well.

ooh i remember those. my sister went crazy for them a few years back. The bright colours really suit the mario pics.. or any cartoon pictures for that matter.

They look pretty good, and the beads act just like pixels. :)

I've seen those beads before. Doing pixel art with them is a neat idea.
