I'm busy making some small gifts to sell at my very first Christmas market booth 😍🎄

A little house made out of Hama beads. Brown walls with white trimming and a white and brown roof.

For the last two weeks I was busy getting my desk at an art studio ready, that I joined in August. I'm so happy to have a place where I can freely create and hang out and be inspired. I've already spent some days and evenings here, alone and with other people. Either way it makes me very very happy 🤩

Foto einer Wand, davor ein Schreibtisch. Auf dem Tisch stehen ein Laptop, ein Trinkbecher, drei Kisten zum Organisieren von Kleinkram, liegen eine PC Maus und Kopfhörer. An der Wand hängt eine sogenannte Montagewand, an der viele kleine Boxen sind, in denen meine Bügelperlen organisiert sind. Über den Montagewand sieht man teilweise Kunstwerke.

Finally done! 🙏
My Hama bead version of the cover of the Science Fiction Quarterly 1943 spring issue. 🛸
19.824 beads in 46 colors. 168x118 beads or just about A1 size (59,4 x 84 cm). Done in just a little over 40 hours.
(That's only 15 of the solid colors I didn't use for this one. 🎨)

Das Foto zeigt mein neustes Kunstwerk aus Bügelperlen. Es ist ein Cover der Zeitschrift "Science Fiction Quarterly". Auf dem Cover ist oben in weiß der Titel, darunter eine Illustration. Eine Frau in rotem Kleid steht an so etwas wie einer Schaltzentrale eines Raumschiffs. Hinter ihr steht ein Mann, der wie ein Polizist aussieht. Er trägt eine dunkelgrüne Uniform und hat eine Waffe in der Hand, die er der Frau in den Rücken hält. Beide haben einen wütenden, kämpfenden Gesichtsausdruck. Hinter den beiden sitzt ein weiterer Polizist mit dem Rücken zu ihnen und mit dem Gesicht zu einer riesigen Fensterwand, die angedeutet ist. Draußen fliegt ein Raumschiff, das gerade angeschossen wurde.
Das Kunstwerk ist gerahmt, weshalb eine leichte Spiegelung auf dem Foto entstanden ist.Das Foto zeigt mein neustes Kunstwerk aus Bügelperlen.

Another small one before I'm finally finishing my big art piece. I saw this from cuteasfcuk on reddit and changed the pattern to a German car.
I'm thinking about gluing it somewhere on the streets...? 🤔

Image made out of Hama beads: a car with blue and neon yellow stripes, kind of like a German police car. The top of the car is burning. Above the car there are the letters A, C, A and B in black. Everything is surrounded by white beads.

I can here this picture 😁 It's a Nyan Cat tissue box cover! I wanted to do "something small" before ironing the big piece lying on my table and somehow this came to mind.
About 3.400 beads. It took me 6,5 hours and it is for sale. ✨😽🌈

The picture shows an artistically designed tissue box made of beads. The box is mainly blue and features a pixel-like design depicting a cat with pink hair and a rainbow. It's the nyan cat!

So, I'm done with the beads! I already taped them down with masking tape and starting with poking the holes, not pictured. Since there's about 13 thousand beads, I have to poke 13 thousand holes 🥲

Photo of my current artwork, a magazine cover. It's taped with masking tape, but the design shows through the tape a little bit. There's the title of the magazine "Science Fiction Quarterly" and a woman, looking behind her in anger.

I'm so close 🤩 but I won't finish it in my May, which would be today. 😂 I'm also slightly over my estimated time already. But I am impressed that I estimated pretty close! More statistics when I'm done. 🤩

Photo of my current artwork. It's the bottom row of pegboards with dark green tones and bright reds. There's still about a thousand beads left to be put on the boards.

My goal was to finish this in May... we'll see! So far it's been almost 21 hours. Alsmost two thirds done. 💪💕

It's the top half of a magazine cover. The title "Science Fiction Quarterly" is in white beads on top. The image shows a man behind a woman, both looking at each other with anger.

So unfortunately pixelfed and I still aren't the best of friends.... Yet? But here's another WIP photo of my current artwork. I love it so much 🤩

View of my recent artwork: two faces, not yet fully filled in. On the left is a man with a hat, an officer, and on the right is a woman, looking at him. On the remaining pegboards that are not yet in use, there are small boxes with ironing beads in different colors.

I already love this one so much. I'm aiming for completing it in May. So far, I've been working on it for 11 hours... Approximately 34 still to go! 🥲

I can never decide if I want to share progress pictures or just show the finished result. Going with the progress pictures on this one! 😁

View of my recent artwork: on top there are the words "Science Fiction Quarterly" with a black and grey background. On the top left corner is a yellow stripe with the words "No. 10 Spring" but it's very pixelated. On the remaining pegboards that are not yet in use, there are small boxes with ironing beads in different colors.

I'm starting a new picture made of Hama beads. It's gonna be big 😱 It'll be DIN A1 size, a total of 30 pegboards. And I need a lot of different colors. So exciting!!!

I was finally able to add the new Hama colors to my stack today. 🤩 I love them already - Aubergine and night blue might be my new favorites.

Sith happens!
Fun fact: I've never seen Star Wars and had to ask a friend if the pun works. 😂

This is not my pattern. It's from a picture that's been online for so long that nobody knows anymore who actually did it first. 🥲

Three storm troopers made out of Hama mini beeds glued on a little canvas, painted black. Storm troopers are soldiers from the movie Star Wars. Their armor is black and white. Shadows are grey beads.

This is one for the nerds.
The exhibition was titled "Talk Nerdy To Me" and most of the things were recognized by most of the people. This one was special.
There's a show called "Silicon Valley" and in that show, the main characters have a company called "Pied Piper". There's this whole joke about the logo and how it's good or bad and so on. I guess you'd have to watch it! 😁
Aynway, I wasn't sure if anyone would recognize this one. So far I haven't heard of anyone who did 🤭

A green rectangle made out of Hama beads. In white beads there are the words "pied piper" and the Pied Piper of Hamelin. It's a little guy with a cape and a little hat, holding a pipe.Close up

Gollum/Smeagol from The Lord Of The Rings
Still trying to figure out, how to take a good picture of this guy. I made this for my best friend and I'm so happy that she loves it as much as I do.

I can't believe it took me so long to make a Progress Pride Flag! I mean making it didn't take so long, but I've doing Hama bead stuff for years now! 🤭

And one more: a baby cow 🐮
(I know the name is calf, but that's also a part of your leg, so I'm sticking with baby cow! 😂)
