I started playing with Perler beads just for fun. Making magnets and keychains for my family and friends quickly led me deeper into the art of fuse beads. Once I saw some of the large portraits that others were creating I had to try it! This is a time consuming hobby that is often maligned because it is marketed for children. However, in the right hands these tiny plastic beads can become fantastic works or art.
