One of the projects I've wanted to do for a long time is to take all of the Kirby's Adventure ability icons, make them all into perlers, and make a giant painting out of the collage. I finally was like "maybe I should look into doing that, perlers are relaxing during downtime", so I got a script to tell me how much of each color pixel I'll need. Each of these things is like, 33 by 41, that's not too much, ri-
Oh right, math. Multiplication gets outta hand quick. Fucking christ, that's a lot of perler beads
I can order them in 2000 chunks for 2.39 each. With the 25 bags I'll need to complete this project, that's 59.75. Goodness gracious. I forgot how expensive this hobby was, I haven't done perler stuff in like 4 years lol
Another largescale project I wanted to do was another painting collage, this time of every single ending screen from Ristar. You may notice that this one is a little larger than the Kirby's 320x172.
581x340 = almost 200 THOUSAND beads. If I consider that the website sells beads for 2.39 per 2000, that's like, at least 239 dollars. Probably more, since I'll need to buy far more variants of colors.
I actually started on this one, once. I was gonna try to just do one and see if the entire project was worth it. Just ONE of these is SO MUCH, I spent so much money on beads, and I still didn't have nearly the amount I needed (I was kinda unprepared). And then something fell onto the card table I was making my perlers on, the OTHER picture happened.
I never went back to this project lol
