Two Tetris Magnet Sets

Experimenting with the very regimented Tetris forms today. I like the black outlines--they make the pieces and the blocks they're made up of a lot more distinct, but unfortunately they also keep the magnets from being stackable.


This is a set of seven Tetris piece magnets made from perler beads. They are from the Nintendo game Tetris.

Each piece measures approximately 1.5" x 2". These particular pieces do not fit neatly together.

This set, though, of 14 pieces, is a lot more flexible.

Super Mario Bros. Coaster set

This is a set of four coasters depicting characters from the original Super Mario Bros. for NES. The set includes Mario, Goomba, Cheep-Cheep, and Spiny.

Each coaster 3.5" by 3.5" and is made out of perler beads. The coasters have cork backing and will work for any size glass.

Pac-Man Magnets Set of 6

Who doesn't love Pac-Man? The difficult part on this one was the cherries--those single bead stems! That gap between the fruit! Madness, I say, and yet they wouldn't look right if I'd done them differently.

This is a set of 6 Pac-Man magnets based on characters from the classic arcade game Pac-Man. The set includes Pac-Man, the four ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde) and one cherry.

Each piece measures approximately 2.75" x 2.75" and is made from perler beads.

Tetris Coaster Set of 4 and Coaster Holder

Branched out and did my own thing this time. I designed the coaster holder and each of the coasters. It was an effort to make each piece look different and keep two of the same pieces from touching (since you wouldn't be able to tell the pieces apart).

This is a set of four coasters made up of tetris pieces and a holder, all made from perler beads. Each coaster has cork backing. Not only will the coaster not slide, but condensation won't pass through the beads.

Each coaster measures about 2.75" x 2.75". They will fit most size glasses.
