in #steemit7 years ago

Well, this is the much awaited finished product of the Batman bead work I shared a few days ago.

I have been taking pictures from the start so I will be putting the pics in order from start to finish. I plan on having a post showing the different techniques to beading. There is more than just applique. There is loom work, peyote stitch, brick stitch, and so on.... Here are the batman pics

Here I had cut out the backing for the piece and prepared the beads, needles and string!

With this piece I had to outline the black bat first. Then move to the outer yellow beads. This created and stabilized the shape.

Here I finished the yellow!

Here I started to figure out how to bead the black in without the beads going in a weird pattern that would detract from the piece. It does happen . Weird placement of beads making a piece look wonky or even undesirable.

And here it is close to done. The final product is At the Top

Odd thing to do for a man on his "manbreak". Instead you could get training by Ra's al Ghul but you choose to play with beads?

Yeah! I leave the fighting to the masters such as yourself!

I understand. You seem to lack the will to act. A pity really.

Hmm. Batman is the Dark "Knight" he has a "boy scout" mentality. He would not be so condescending to others like this..... You ,Sir are a fraud! A pity really.....hahahah

It seems like you didnt understand me. It's your missing will to act that I pity. Not you personally. You seem like a great guy. Just no vigilante. Which is okay really.

Well, I am a Veteran of the United States Army and Vet of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I am glad that I could take a break and let you handle the reigns for a while. My night terrors and P.T.S.D. haven't quite left me yet and beading is my way of getting outside of my head for a while. So be strong for the the both of us. Let me find my deserved rest!

And thats how you get to know someone. If you consider joining a group may I recommend to stay away from any mercenaries trying to recruit you? An experienced veteran like yourself is hot target for them. I hear somethings brewing.

(On a serious note: I try to add a bit of Batman in the mix but I think you came to the right place regarding your ptsd and night terrors. You can write it off of you in here and if you hit the discord channels you'll find someone to cheer up yoir day.)
