This is the art piece that Black Thread will be submitting to the auction at AnimeFEST this year! It'll be a first for me, so I'm hoping everything goes well :meow:

This is Snake from the Metal Gear series, in all his raspy voiced glory.

This was around 15 hours (possibly more since the ironing was spread out over a week) and exactly 16,100 beads. Very much a collaborative effort between my honey and I. Lots of curse words were said, many beads were lost on the floor, and I'm pretty sure I went cross-eyed for a couple of minutes... but we finally have a completed piece!

How'd you iron this so well?

instead of doing it in all one piece, we broke it up into 4 sections. each section was ironed, and then ironed together into one big piece after that. tackling it that way made it much easier to get done, but it was still a bit of a headache ^-^

But it's so evenly ironed though!

I love it,you know it! :heart:

Are those medium or huge beads? And I suppose you ironed it when it was all complete in the pegboards,right? I'm scared of ironing something so big :/ How did you do that?

kind of a late response, sorry!

the size is the medium, i guess? whatever the "normal" size is that you see at hobby lobby/walmart.

it was ironed in sections, and then the sections were ironed together :)
