Neil Degrasse Tyson on my wall

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

I finally got around to hanging the picture I made of Neil Degrasse Tyson on my wall today, I finished it over a month ago and now it’s finally up there for the whole world to enjoy (well, at least anyone who might happen to visit my apartment).

Now I can have this handsome hunk of an astrophysicist watch over me while I work :D

The picture took about 10 hours to do, and is made from 8100 small plastic beads (perler). The picture itself is 45×45 cm, I wanted to have it much bigger, but when you have  a girlfriend you learn to compromise)

If you’re not already, you should follow him on Twitter (@neiltyson), he has very interesting tweets about science and astronomy.

A new Hobby

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

I’ve recently started a new hobby, which involves tiny plastic beads :)

Everyone used to make stuff with “Hama Perler” when they were kids, but now that I’m grown up, it’s actually way more fun.

I’m currently making all the main characters from Monkey Island 2 (Just Guybrush and Stan so far), but Elaine, Herman Toothrot, Lemon head and the others aren’t far behind.

I’ll be adding pictures of the stuff I make on this picasa album
