More fun with Perler Beads indeed! I've created a brand new item that I have listed in my Etsy Shop this afternoon - this Rubix Cube Keepsake Box!

I modeled this box after the Mario Question Mark block ones that I've been creating for the past while. It measures approximately 3" across each side and it is 3-dimensional. It has a lid on the top that lifts off and the lid has two layers to allow it to fit snugly on top. The sides of the cube are all glued together with sturdy contact cement.

The Rubix Cube is "accurate" to the original - meaning that it is not only the correct colors, but the correct amount of each color :) This little keepsake box can be used to store just about anything, and would be a super cute addition to your desk or shelf!

Hi!  It has been a long, long while since I posted to this blog so I apologize to any of my readers!

I just wanted to write about a couple of new items in my Etsy shop - these fun, super geeky pen holders for your desk or office!  I currently have two different ones in my shop - one is a Mario themed pen holder with Mario, along with various power-ups (mushroom, Fire Flower, invincibility star), and one is Pac-man themed with Pacman and the ghosts. 

These containers are pretty versatile and can also be used to hold pretty much anything - another great use is as a toothbrush holder!  Since they are constructed from Perler beads, the small holes allow for adequate drainage so they would function well as a toothbrush holder. 

Hope you enjoy my newest creations! 

Here's a brand new item in the Lost Mitten Etsy Shop for today - a pink cassette cardholder for your business cards!  Stylish and retro art for your desk, perfect for those who want to spruce up their desk or office a bit, or just for someone who need a business cardholder!  And it's pink!

Made from Perler beads, fused together and then held together with sturdy contact cement.  The light beads representing the clear window where the tape is are actually glow in the dark beads, so you'll even be able to find your business cards in the dark ^_^ 

If anyone is also interested, I also created a new shop banner for my page, I liked the old one but thought that my shop could use a new look.  I'm also thinking of making a corresponding website with my work that will have a similar theme.
