So, I was inspired by Bladespark's lovely pokemon bead sprites to try it myself. I went and bought a little set of beads and peg board etc. and I thought I'd try something easy first.

This is the result: gardevoir and furret from Pokemon Link (or Trozei) :D I'm really restricted with colours so they may look a little off. Furret is a bit wonky since he fell apart after ironing, but he was my first try and I'm quite happy with them.

If anyone works with hama beads who can toss me some advise about the ironing - please do :)
