Artist Trading Cards are little 2.5" x 3.5" pieces of art made by any medium. Ive also joined swapbot.com and are having lots of fun swapping crafts supplies as well as ATC's.<br />
Ill be adding ATC-related links to the list. If you have any good links, please suggest :)Moosecastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14150024787506407251noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324708205986623030.post-88228044033131921572011-03-29T10:49:00.001+02:002011-03-30T09:23:08.267+02:00Where to find inspiration?Beader's block? Never again! Mostly my problem isnt to find something to bead but to choose between the abundance of ideas I have. So when searching for images its important to have a theme in mind to help focusing. <br />
If searching for video game sprites there are several sites with good archives; the most known is <a href="http://www.spriters-resource.com/">http://www.spriters-resource.com/</a> where there are regular updates. In my links list you can find more sprite sites.<br />
I also like to see finished projects - those I find on flikr, deviantart and <a href="http://www.pixelgasm-forum.com/">http://www.pixelgasm-forum.com/</a>. Pixelgasm is a great place for inspiration, tutorials, supply advice etc.<br />
If youre looking for something to do with/for your kids PerlerBeads site has plenty of good projects - I especially like the 3D ones. Hama's site is still rather new but has a few patterns.<br />
If you like to make photos/images into beads (using perler or photo pearls) Ive found a lot of interesting images on deviantart.<br />
And remember when searching that cross stitch patterns can be beaded very easily too!! Besides sprites patterns Ive been inspired by the Prairie Schooler Patterns.<br />
Do you have a good site where you find inspiration? Id love to put it up here then :)Moosecastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14150024787506407251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324708205986623030.post-61216063679857868852011-03-25T22:30:00.000+01:002011-03-25T22:30:48.164+01:00Harry Potter and Co<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Im doing a series of Harry Potter characters at the moment - after modified cross stitch patterns - and I could use some help.</span><br />

Now growing up in Denmark I have of course played with fuse beads as Hama is a Danish company - but to make something in 3D was completely new.<br />
Then I went back to google to search for patterns and kept getting refered to pixelgasm-forum.com - I joined and... the Bead Disease had me in its grip!!!<br />
I want this blog to be a place where I gather all the things I use for my beadmania; photos of my projects, pattern programmes, useful links, inspiration... - so others can use them as well.<br />
