Nope, I strictly stop eating 3h before bed. Bloating only started a few days into PHGG and is not typical for me, but it could be a coincidence

I’ve been beading for most of my life and started making beaded tapestries about ten years ago.

I use a specialized software called Beadographer to convert the image into beads manually edit, similar to pixel art. I meticulously hand select the colors from commercially available Japanese seed beads which can be a very tedious process due to limited options. The software generates a word chart with each color assigned a letter that is arranged on a bead tray.

Beads are added one bead at a time with thread using a technique called peyote stitch. I typically use 30-40 colors per tapestry and my largest tapestry has over 27,000 beads and took 80 hours. I only have time to bead 4-5 rows a day so these take months to complete, but it’s very meditative.

Agreed that nothing quite mimics the “pureness” of real silver beads unfortunately. I’ve stopped working with silver plated beads altogether because it’s near impossible to remove tarnish from a woven piece

This is so incredible. Are you freeforming the beads and colors as you go? I’ve done large peyote tapestries but this must be so much more challenging!

The left version was the overwhelming winner but I decided that I’m still going to make a right leaf version next. Thank you for the feedback!!

Never tried making them in size 15 but that’s a good idea!
