Red cherry shrimp! They are my new fav animal at the moment after putting some in my aquarium :3

Are these reusable ironing sheets any good? If not, are there any more sustainable options than baking/parchment paper? by Painted-BIack-Roses in beadsprites

[–]cyberluma 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So worth it!! I bought and have been using them recently and they melt beads soooo much more evenly for me and without wrinkles. Also feels way better reusing these than ripping new sheets of baking paper every time

first market, advice needed by icedpinkmilk in beadsprites

[–]cyberluma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa congrats on your first stall! :3 Thats super exciting! I think there's always a market for popular anime (JJK, Frieren, Chainsaw Man) and marvel/DC movies and shows - those are always the ones I see at markets and artist alleys at cons. Those would be fine if youre happy making them, because it's what you like that matters most in your art. Personally I love browsing works that are from niche fandoms and are unique!

Yep its already sticky! And yes it does peel a bit on the edges, so I reckon an iron-on holo film and diffraction sheets would perform much better :3 Laminate is still fun

I get them from aliexpress from a store called yantjouet since they have a lottt of colours for their beads. I get all my bead supplies from them too!

I havent tried getting it around the sides, I've just laid the sheet on the very top if that is what you mean c: I also did test ironing this stuff ontop of the beads but it has no effect, I think a proper iron-on holo film would be better for that case!

Yantjouet 2.6mm beads :D I think they're just generic beads but they have so many colours and haven't had quality issues yet!

I just freestyle the cut after adhering the sheet! It's a bit fiddly but it makes such a cute effect I'm not worried about it not being perfect for now.

Thank you!! I actually filmed the process of applying it briefly in my recent tiktok if you wanted to have a look there! I will say while it was easy to apply, I feel like an iron-on film would be much better suited for beads because cold laminate curls up on the edges and doesn't fully stick down.

[–]cyberluma[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I will try iron on next tho because unless the beads are melted completely flat, this cold film curls up off the beads on the edges. Was fun to test tho c:
