I missed La Superette this month, the annual artist mega-merch table event organized in New York by Tali Hinkis, and I'm sad because I would have been interested in (among other things) these Perler Bead floppies by Kate Pemberton:
More Perler iron-and-fuse bead work is depicted here in my writeup of the Mondo Mondo Trading Post. I found the Pemberton image via Your door to explore, a good collection of links to the kind of komputer kraft stuff I periodically post about here (including links to here, but that's not the only reason I mention it, and also some typical dumb LiveJournal fodder, like "what type of _______ are you" quizzes). I also learned there about Mr. Ministeck (Norbert Bayer) who makes pixeled images with Ministeck, another brand of fuse beads first made in Bavaria in the 70s. I had seen his Pac Man image but didn't know what it was.
Awesome. Related topics of interest from the blog vault:
Joe Beuckman bead works; Jason's Pokemon bead designs drawn in MSPaint.
Bill Davenport needlepoints 1
Bill Davenport needlepoints 2
And one more relevant item from La Superette, by FLUORESCENT F and SISTAZ 4EVER (Frankie & Katie Martin):
Tom, maybe you've already seen knitPro at microRevolt (what's with all those mid-word capitalizations?):
www.microrevolt.org/knitPro.htm
"knitPro is a web application that translates digital images into knit, crochet, needlepoint and cross-stitch patterns. Just upload jpeg, gif or png images of whatever you wish -- portraits, landscapes, logos... and it will generate the image pattern on a graph sizable for any fiber project."
