New: Search Tool/Bar

Decided to add a search-tool for you guys, so on the right side, almost at the top you can find a small search bar where you can search this blog for tags, titles and so on. 

As an examle, if you want to se a sprite of mario, search for it, but also things that has to do with mario will have the tag, so the coin box, the one-up star, the flesh-eating flower etc.
I hope this will  make it easier for you guys to find what you are searching for here!

If there are any other things you think I should add/remove or change in order for this blog to become more search-friendly, please let me know =)

Thank you so much for reading!
I would really apprechiate it if you would follow me, and I also want to let you know that when I reach 100 subscribers on my blog I will do a giveaway with a sprite of your choice (within reasonable measurments of course, and if you'd like to help me reach the goal, all you have to do is click HERE and hit the subscribe button!

Thank you again!

One more thing: if you'd like to stay updated before everyone else you can follow my instagram @ chrisbeeblack where I put out sprites right after they're finished from PS!

That's all, I promise!

Hama Beads Haul + FAQ!

In my Hama Collection Video with tons of views I get a lot of questions where I get my beads. I answer every one, but I figured, just in case those of you who read my blog as well wonders, I would share a haul with you!

 Here is the bag full of beads and the bottle-beads. The brand of those are Photo Pearls, which is a Swedish brand. I got those in Oslo at a hobbystore called Panduro. You can also check their Store Locator on photopearls.se for stores and online shopping opportunities. 
Photo Pearls is actually made for making digital pictures into bead-art. You can buy individual bottles and refills like I did - or starter sets with the Photo Pearls Software and beads.


 In the bag was a ton of Hama Beads. I had bought ceveral colours.
L-R: Orange, White, Yellow, Light Brown, Light Blue, Flesh
L-R: Gray, Purple, Blue, Black, Light Green, Pink.

I got these from ceveral places, because not every place has all colours. 
The stores I used are Brio in Gran, Libris in Brandbu, Sparkjøp in Hønefoss and Panduro in Oslo.

Here in Norway, almost all regular toystores have Hama Beads. The Photo Pearls are harder to come by because it's not meant for children in the same way regular Hama/Perler beads are.
The prices vary from 11.50 NOK to 19.50 NOK for the bags with 1000 beads, and the Photo Pearls were 39.00 NOK for a bottle of 3500 beads. 

Then, I just want to clear something up; perler, hama, pyssla, photo pearls...
They're all the same thing, just under diffrent names and brands. When all comes to all, they are all small plastic beads which can be fused together with an iron.

And if you read all of that, congratulations :D

Pixels and Beads on Instagram!

I have made an account on Instagram - just like everybody else.

But - unlike most people - I'm using it to front my work, meaning I'm usually posting pixel-images of my creations there before the finished product is on display on this blog. So, if you'd like to see it there before anyone else - go ahead and follow me @chrisbeeblack :)

ChrisbeeblackBeading QR-code

I decided to film myself beading a QR-code for you guys! Just try it out, it works! 
I used this QR-code generator to make it: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
It's very easy to use, and it's also free!

Used black and white for this, and it's roughly 18 x 18 cm big.
