Bead Me Up Scotty (and a better pic of Snape)

[tripperfunster]

Newest bead creation.
This seriously looks a hundred times better in rl, but I took a ton of pics of it and they all look like crap. Much more photographic in rl. Anyhoo, I'm really happy with it. My brain is still churning around the thought of making something WAY bigger ....




And a better picture of Snape from last week.



Thanks for lookin'!

Seriously, I have never seen any bead creations like these before, they are so well done! You're a very multi-talented artist. The colors on the new one look good, but I can imagine finding flesh colored beads is a little on the tricky side. Are these those mega tiny glass beads that I'm thinking of, like the traditional tiny ones you see in some Indian art and clothing or are you using a thicker or plastic bead?

I feel so uncrafty. I painted our Halloween pumpkin, and felt like it was a chore. I think all muse has gone from my ability to paint.

So, I Googled bead loom and found a beginners video...WOW! The detailed intricacy! At the end she had made a little bracelet that spelled CANADA. LOL It boggles the mind to think of how much work is in your Art, with the counting and needlework. Do you have a pattern? GUH! Your bead work is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!

When I get my own apartment again (which will apparently be a lot sooner than I had planned) and have money again (which won't be for years) I am going to kidnap you and make you live in my apartment and do nothing but draw me slashy art and make slashy bead-work for my walls. I shall, however, feed you cookies and give you back-rubs for your hard work in making my life nothing but slashy ecstasy.

That is all.

The problem's just in the nature of the computer screen and of the medium itself. On a screen, it looks enough like pixels that your mind sees an EXTREMELY pixelated image, where in real life you see the beads for what they are. A way to improve it would be to give it context, lay it out on the desk of in your hands and let us see your fingers. No guarantees there. But his is basically an optical illusion. when something looks "like that" on a computer screen it USUALLY means horrible resolution, the brain's filling in the gaps incorrectly

Science asside, I LOVE these. They're fantastic. You've done a GREAT job with the likeness and the monochrome. I'm TERRIBLE at monochrome usually XP

[sarahphym.livejournal.com]

sweet. how long did these take you to do? i know an artist who does all beadwork and it can take her months to do just one small piece.

[just-jane-doe.livejournal.com]
