Teenage Mutant Beaded Turtles!

Yes, you’re not seeing things, that entire image of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is made entirely out of beads. For years now, enthusiasts have been making pixel perfect replicas of their favorite video game characters out of beads. Of course this has gone unnoticed by folks like myself until now. From standards like Mario, Megaman, Sonic, and much more, to more interesting and even custom works of art, this truly is a labor of gaming love. Some pieces takes mere minutes, while others take months.

So how might you procure these beads and how is it done? Well I’m glad you asked. Check out the Bead Sprites Forum to see an array of bead works, tips, and advice on how to get started.
