No, I didn’t capture a ghost on photograph (although that would be cool). My brother Jeff’s new hobby is making video game character sprites out of Perler Beads. So I thought I’d show you his latest batch. You’ll ‘glow’ with amazement after you see these!

This first one is the main character from the popular indie game Cave Story. My brother Jeff recently discovered that game on his PC and then confiscated my 3DS version: Cave Story 3D. He liked the game so much that he made a Perler bead craft out of it!

This next one is a Boo ghost from the Mario games.

Why did he make a ghost from the Mario games, you may ask? Well he had a batch of glow in the dark Perler beads that he wanted to use. I tried to get him to make a sprite craft of Kirby riding a star, and the star could be glow in the dark. But he didn’t like how the sprites for that looked, so he whipped up a glow in the dark Boo, which I think was a neat idea, too.
