Mich of my misspent youth was spemt playing games on my trusty old ZX Spectrum. One of the first games to catch my interest and that of my family (my Mum was addicted!) was Manic Miner. Its follow-up Jet Set Willy never made it quite so strongly into my heart but, in its honour I present a hama pattern of Miner Willy (as well as a photo of my own effort)
Hey – My Hama Bead Patterns are popular so here are some more. These could always be used for cross-stitch/needlepoint too, if that’s your thing.
I’ve been at it again and this time, for your beading pleasure, I present Pacman Hama patterns.
In my spare time I do some work with teenagers and sometimes we do bead crafts with them, laying out beads on a rack of pins, then ironing the beads until the come together as a whole.
Usually the boards come in stars and circles and can be used to do whatever you like but I’m not that creative, or interested in loveheart shaped coasters.
What I am interested in is Videogames and so I’ve made some Hama Bead patterns for Mario, a Koopa, a Mushroom and a Question Box. They might be bigger than your average Hama board but you can make them in bits then iron them together. I have made the koopa but it got “donated” so no picture . . .
Anyway, here they are, and I may produce more in future.
