Gamer Grrlz

The lovely lady who purchased a set of Mega Man 2 Robot Master panels sent a picture of what it looks like on the wall! She said her husband, whom she bought it for (what a birthday gift!), was thrilled. Check out my Etsy if you’re interested in some of your own.

You guys are the first to see my latest completed project! This set of Mega Man 2 panels depicting the Boss Select screen, recreated in Perler beads, was commissioned through my Etsy page. Sadly, since I do not own them, I can’t put them on my wall so you can see what that would look like, but you can get an idea if you take a peep at the Mega Man 9 project I did a few years ago.

I think my buyer will be pleased! So glad I got this done before PAX.

This jaw-dropping robotic Mega Man piece, built by Flickr user Andy_0306uk, is constructed entirely out of LEGOs!

This Mega Man plushie was made by geekcraft fan favorite Michele Legendre of Deadly Sweet Plushes.

24 Hour Gaming Marathon To Benefit Child’s Play This Weekend

Slumber party! And not one of mine, as fun as that would be. This slumber party is for Child’s Play, the gamer charity that provides funds and entertainment to kids in children’s hospitals across the world. G33kwatch, who has done other gaming marathon charities in the past, will be doing so again this upcoming weekend, and will be offering the chance to win a number of geekcraft prizes, included some made by yours truly:

I also gave them these but I don’t think they’re being given away:

If you have it in your heart, keep an eye on their site and donate this weekend to benefit sick kids. You may win an awesome geek crafty prize! The marathon starts June 4, 2011 at 12 pm and lasts 24 hours.

The best part about this table is that it’s actually playable! There’s also storage inside.

That’s one doggone dedicated Mega Man fan.

This scene from Mega Man 7 was stitched by geek crafter extraordinaire LiquidKarma.

Mega Man X is now available on Wii’s Virtual Console for 800 Wii Points. Here are three screen shots they released for the occasion.

Oh just a few Perler bead sprites I’ve made over the past few years. These aren’t all of ‘em, of course. Note the Rammy Perler bead sprite, which is an original of mine and a favorite of Castle Crashers series creator Tom Fulp. I didn’t put all my Majora’s Mask sprites and Sailor Moon sprites up, ‘cause that would have been too much. These are all the small sprites, really, with several larger ones being stored right now in another room before my big move.

Note: for those that asked, these can be obtained at my Etsy shop.

Master Your Energy With A Mega Mug

Next time your energy tanks, grab one of Mega Man’s. This coffee mug from Fangamer, comes with the coaster you see above, and unfortunately is sold out until at least April. Which is okay, ‘cause it costs $28. And I’m pretty sure that’s more money than I’ve seen at one time in my entire life.

If this mug is your cup of…coffee…check out the Fangamer link below to sign up for an email alert when these are back on sale.

She’s Crafty

Oh the things you’ll do…while suffering from insomnia. I’ve been geek craftin’ in the middle of the night lately. I haven’t had to be accountable for my schedule the past week, and so my days consist mostly of four hour naps sandwiched between writing, crafting, not checking the mail, gaming, avoiding the overflowing garbage, and downing trashy wine spritzers. Case in point: but an hour ago I discovered there’s a foot of snow outside. There wasn’t earlier today, of course, but somewhere along the line I simply stopped looking out the window, and blammo, snow. Guess I know what I’ll be doing for a few days yet while I wait the three months it will take for the city of Seattle to plow me out.

Most of these projects were completed some time around 3 AM. Right now I’m experimenting with molded chocolate, and still messing around with polymer clay. Got some new plans for Perler stuff coming up soon. The picture up top is a pastel candy chip set of molded chocolate lollipops I did, the first of many themes I plan to try out. I want to experiment with a few techniques, maybe see what I can do with rice cereal, dried fruit, nuts, wafers, or peanut butter filling.

I’m really digging the pins I’ve been making lately. Above are GLADoS core spheres, in curiosity, intelligence, and anger. Below are my Mega Man and Red Ring Of Death pins. They are tiny but oh so cute, I love wearing them on my lapel. Er, uh, I mean, admiring them in a little box until they sell.

This set is features vanilla, light cocoa, dark cocoa, and peanut butter Ghost pops, with a vanilla-peanut butter-dark cocoa layered Pac-Man, and a peanut butter-dark cocoa one too.

This next one isn’t really new, I just sold one recently and I’m hoping someone buys another one before I inevitably complete and ship another, only to sell another the next day. Happens everyfuckingtime.
