the 12th doctor - perler beads

Ok, giant discovery was made on this one. I researched the 12th doctor's costume and had all my sketches ready to go and then found out.. perler beads don't come in navy... what the hell?!? He is supposed to have a navy blue coat and black pants.. so instead I created him with a white shirt. I'm not thrilled i had to compromise, I had a nice sketch and was very frustrated. Black pants with a black coat didn't look right.. so yeah.. compromise is painful :-)

perler bead extravaganza

I like making perler beads as quick distraction that can break up a day or when I need a break from another project. I made them for specific people as surprises and just "thinking of you". The bead color and texture make it just fun to do. I have quite the color collection built up over time, so I might have to start thinking of some additional uses soon...
