A picture is worth a thousand beads.... or maybe 20 thousand
Better than cross stitch, weaving beads on a loom, you can create fabulous pictures. I experimented at first to find the perfect beads for the job - and they are Miyuki's Delica beads. They are precise and uniform in size - and fit togther just like bricks. Delica beads come in 4 sizes - size 11/0 is the most popular - and comes in over 900 different colors! So you are sure to find the exact color/bead finish you need for the job.
The bead finishes in the picutre above include:
Matte - the white back ground is MAe so that the figures really stand out.
Transparent Silver Lined - the gloves, scarves and Minnie's bow are all TSL so that they really pop off the page.
Opaque - these beads have a light shine to them - the bodies and shoes of both Mickey and Minnie are done with OP beads.
Opaque Luster - the beads in the snowman are OPL so that they really sparkle.
Satin - the dazzling highlights on the snowman and the snow beneath everyone are done with Satin beads.
