My first oversized bead sprite. Contains approximately 10,000 beads, and is mounted on black foamcore.

I don't know really, I'd say anywhere from 20-40 dollars, but for pieces like that I'm sure they'd sell higher. I'd offer higher, but I'm kinda tight on cash.

Yeah, that thing, if you saw it - the one thing I've noticed about bead-sprite pieces is they get a much better response in person. Honestly, the absolute lowest I would go would be $150 for this piece, as is, but finished, $200 - $250 since I was planning on building a custom frame for it.

That may seem high, but if you consider that there are around 11,000 beads in it, placed on the pegboards by hand, over a period of two weeks, then the time to iron it, the mounting and framing (if I see fit or a piece like this), after all is said and done, I've spent over $60 just for the materials. I would be losing money, not to mention wasting countless hours of my life on these creations at that price. I sell the smallest pieces for about $5 - $15. You have to remember that although they look like toys and are made from kid's crafts, these are pieces of art, not manufactured at 43 cents a piece - people who make these and sell them spend so much time organizing all the colors, buying the right ones, not to mention all the pegboards and ironing paper, plus the iron, containers to store all the beads in, etc. You really have no idea how much of a commitment Perler and Hama beads are until you get into them. Trust me, I had no idea what this would become when I started, haha.

Anyways, didn't mean to talk your ear off - just wanted to be informative today.

Oh, I know it would be that expensive. I just couldn't afford that. XD But I do love your pieces.

Thanks bro. This one sort of started it all, as far as huge sprites go.
