tripperfunsterWhooooooooo! Well, THAT was fun. ;)
Each row is 90 beads long and the whole thing is 62 rows down. About 12 hours of just beading. (Meaning, not including sorting the beads by colour and tweaking the reference. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and certainly learned a lot. The next one will be better. (I hope.)
The pics are of it still on the loom, because I put a bead of glue on each string before I take it off, to stop and string slippage. It should photograph better once I remove it. In total it's just a hair under 6x6 inches, and over 5500 beads!
And here's one of the whole loom, so you can see what the heck.
Sorry for the giant pics! My compter (or lj) wouldn't let me upload images, so I had to do it via tinypic.

Date: 2011-10-18 03:32 am (UTC)For this one i broke down and bought a cross stitch pattern program that breaks it down for me. Or ... HELPS to break it down. It's very literal, so it needs some tweaking, and the picture needs quite a bit of tweaking before you can even run it through the pattern maker.

Date: 2011-10-18 03:44 am (UTC)Oh god, that pic is STILL hilarious. :D
The beading itself requires patience and organization, both of which I'm severly lacking, so yeah, I guess anyone could do it. What's harder is picking the right reference picture, tweaking it so it has enough (but not too much) contrast to work with the beads, and then figuring out what colour of beads to do where. So ... it's kind of really complicated, but not actually difficult, if that makes any sense.
