8-bit seed bead jewellery

[highonlollypops]

hi

being new to this place, i thought i'd share some little things i've been experimenting with. i got a new seed bead loom and realised i could use then to make 8-bit style jewellery.

pac man and space invaders.

i'm thinking of branching out into pokemon and other video game sprites. would love any and all suggestions and advice on new designs

Holy cow, I was going to go buy a loom and some beads and try my luck after my last class today, but I chickened out after I realized I didn't know anything about seed beads, like if you can even do this sort of thing with them. It appears that it's possible. Thank you for enlightening me in such a timely manner!

And those are awesome! Have you done this before?

Those are great I really need to find out what happened to the loom I had, think I still have lots of beads too....

Thanks for the appreciation guys! These two are the 3rd and 4th items i have ever made using a bead loom.

I figured that designing patterns would be not much different to designing for cross-stitch items.

The bigger trouble is that the patterns have to be quite small as a bead loom is not that big.

Where you can do 100x100 squares using a cross stitch, a bead loom limits me to something like 12 x 12 squares maximum...

just in time for valentine's day, i made this to go around a candle for decoration for valentine's day, based on gamer hearts - turned out a lot better than i thought....

dunno if it counts as video-game per se, i also made this evil evil eye style bracelet for my friend for his birthday. the style kinda looks like darth maul's eyes in the phantom menace...

i think there are quite a few game sprites that include strawberries...decided to give making a strawberry band a go...
