Bead pixeling. Join in it will be fun!

on: January 23, 2007, 01:33:39 am
Hello. (feel free to move this thread)

I am guessing some of you guys are fammiliar with beads if not it is plastic little tube like things you put in small pins and you can iron them so they melt together and end up looking like pixels.

I have a bunch of beads laying around and I thought I'd call for a little project I will post a pallettle here with all the colours I have (and colors i can get hold of) and you can pixel things that i make into beadwork .

depending on what you want and size i could do all sorts of stuff with it like posting it to you or any one you like free of charge or perhaps i wil (with your permission) glue it up somewhere like i did with this cat. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45117280/

 I will ofcourse post photos of it here.

size:

I have tvelve 29x29 frames and they can be puzzled around like crasy
examples:


29x29 is good since its not so big it wont take forever and all my beads to make


this is the largest rectangle i can make 87x116 I dont recomend you make things this big if you want them made soon though it takes alot of time and thay are not too easy to iron and they use up alot of beads i mean its 10092 pins.


But you can arrange them as you want like this for example

Note: if you keep to using 1-9 tiles i will be more likely to make them but feel free to make as big patterns as you want i can buy more tiles too you know.

UPDATE
I made a little physical palettle thing and ironed it.'

Woah... I remember those things, never thought of pixelling with them though. Which is a shame, because I just threw out a bunch of them just recently when I was cleaning out some of the rubbish that'd been collecting in my cupboards. Seems so obvious that they'd be great for pixelling now, heh.

I had a go at making a palette for it. The colours are probably off quite a bit (I averaged them from the top and sides of the beads), but thems the breaks.
24 glorious shades o' bead: Hrmm, maybe if you normalised the palette it'd be more useful.

well that's dandy, but my LEGOS are reusable. ;D

A lot of times in math class i make sprites on graph paper... takes some planning and a lot of time, but who needs to know how to calculate vertical asymptotes... right?

There i tried to make a little pixel paletle aswell but fell free to edit the colors a little to your liking when makeing the pixel art... I will probably be able to make out what you mean anyways.

also the outlining on the scanned palettle is glow in the dark beads and not another shade of grey. you can use them too if you want. =P
