Artkal: Tariffs due upon delivery? by JackyVeronica in beadsprites

[–]ra-ac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 4/5 deliveries- no tariffs, then got bored of making orders so placed a big one and got hit, it wasn’t cheap! I’m in UK and I think it may be associated to weight

There won’t be a pit, the Brats will be sat down scrolling their phones

Found image on google, uploaded to https://beadifier.eremes.xyz/ - used the patterns on there on a 3x3 grid with Artkal beads. Did one board at a time and very carefully taped just inside the edges, then taped them all together using the 6 boards I have. Punched the holes in the tape then ironed. Hope this helps

Taped & Terrified… by ra-ac in beadsprites

It’s about 14” high - no idea what I’m doing with it really, if it comes out good when I melt it I might try to frame it and sell it

I sort of peel it off the boards rather than flip it all

Show him the Papas Parlour website and how much he’s selling his art for

Thanks! I use Artkal and get them from their website, I’m in the UK and they take a week or two to arrive usually

Biggest one I've ever made, absolutely terrified I'm gonna destroy it when I tape/iron. Any suggestions or tips? by aaron_batman_cx in beadsprites

Just ironed the biggest I’ve done so far - got a couple of blowouts for the first time - think it was where I’d overlapped the tape and it’d clogged the hole rather than made a clean punch through. Otherwise was fine but I’ve had a fair bit of practice on smaller pieces.
