Now, first things first: Go check out our Gallery. Right now. Go on ahead, we'll wait.
.....
All done checking out the awesome new stuff? Cool! Now, back to the update:
Some of you have had some questions about Commissions, and I'd like to address those questions now.
•We can commission anything! It doesn't have to be from a video game. Check out this Red Sox cell charm someone commissioned:
•We can do CUSTOM sprites! Do you want your personal Pokemon trainer? How about your Kirby? We can do almost anything you can dream up!
•You don't have to pay immediately when you order a commission through the commission form, though you press "Check Out". You only pay AFTER we both agree to the terms of the commission. So, there's no risk in using the Commission Order form!
Ready to commission? Head here!
Moving on, I'd like to discuss all the awesome new sprites we've added to our site!
Naturally, Stef and I are huge Super Mario World fans. We're inspired particularly by games that have colorful, gorgeous sprite art, and Super Mario World is a pinnacle of such art. It's with great pleasure that we have undertook the project of making a full set of Super Mario World items. Not just Mario and Yoshi, but also things like Question mark blocks, the Koopas, the Goombas and much more.
Well, just take a look at an example of a scene one could create:

from our gallery
Many of the items are on sale if you buy 2 or more at a time, so please be sure to check them out!
Super Mario World Bead Sprites.
By the way, how do you feel about the new sections? Some of the categories (such as Pokemon) were getting a little large, so now they are divided into subcategories so you can find what you're looking for faster. We also added some new categories: Kirby and Metroid. And be sure to check out the Misc category, where we've added everything from Chrono Trigger to Bomberman to Stafy. I'm especially pleased with the Neku and Shiki set Stef and I made together.
That's all for today. Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog! As always, you can send any suggestions or comments our way via the Contact form. Peace out!

Before anything else, I would like to express my extreme gratitude to my partner Stef, who has coded this website on her own from scratch. Isn't she amazingly talented?
Today is a very exciting day for Stef and I. We really love video games and we are looking forward to sharing this love of games with people around the world through our products.
Each sprite we sell is made by hand, by us. We hope that you will enjoy our goods as much as we enjoy making them!
Now, here's some helpful information about the various features of our site. You can select items from our existing inventory by clicking the name of the game/series you like on the left, or just click "Bead Sprites" to view all of the products at once. Any sprite can be made into a magnet, keyring(bag pull), or cell phone charm.
If you want a sprite you don't see on our site, you can use the "Commissions" form to custom-order. You can commission almost anything!
The Gallery will contain pictures of our products in action, things we've commissioned in the past, and fun pictures of how we like to display our sprites. Be sure to check back often, as you never know what may pop up!
We tried to make our website as convenient as possible, but in the case that you have any questions or encounter a problem using our site and need help, you can always contact us by using the Feedback/Contact form. We check these comments at least once daily, so you can expect a reply in 24 hours or less.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog today. I hope you liked it!
♥Lisa
