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. 🎨)

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 🥲

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. 🤩

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 🤩

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! 😁
