About the Creator
Hi! I'm Tsenguun, a software engineer who discovered the wonderful world of fused beads (Perler beads) as a hobby to do activities with my son. What started as a fun bonding activity quickly became a passion, and I've been enjoying this art form ever since.
As someone who loves both technology and crafting, I noticed there weren't many tools that made it easy to convert images into bead patterns with the precision and features that crafters need. That's why I created MeltyMap – to combine my software engineering skills with my passion for bead art and help others bring their creative visions to life.
MeltyMap is built with the community in mind. Whether you're a beginner just starting out or an experienced crafter looking for advanced features, I hope this tool helps you create amazing patterns and enjoy the art of fused beads as much as I do.
