This is ridiculously gorgeous. The glow was totally worth it I like shiny glowy things too.
And I just saw the measurements you gave...how long did it TAKE?? That is insanity (in the best way possible of course), haha.
totally watching you now!

Haha, yeah, the glow was worth the trouble with that thread.
It took over half a year, but I made a few breaks along the way

Β The glowing effect is totally worth the many swearing you probably did for it. :claps:Β
Also very much in love with your idea to give dragons feathers

Yeah, it was worth the effort Glowy feathers<3
Not my idea, really, there are quite a lot of feathered dragons around here - all shapes and sizes

I don't have the words to express how stunning this looks - just wish I could see it in real life. Your beading skills astound me

Great!Β
This may be my favorite!
Glow is tough to photo... I made some glow rings (acrylic and glow powder), they look really good to the eye but the camera does not capture how bright they are.Β
I think it is a shame all the glow in the dark beads are large size... some one needs to make some 11/0 glow beads...Β
Just think what you could do with those
He is awesome!

Thanks^^
Tell me about it... Glow is a nightmare to photograph. It always looks so much better in life, and then I'm like "silly camera, don't you see the glow"?Β
It's probably too hard to be viable. We can dream, though

exactly my thinking (like when computer says it can't find the printer, they are on the same desk ), I wonder if it is only digital cameras that can't see the glow... but then SLR pics are not much use for the internet. I looked up some suggestions on glow paint websites... were not much help.

Cerise357 [2014-04-08 10:13:12 +0000 UTC]
That turned out really great!
Ooooh! if only we could have glow in the dark 11/0, 15/0 beads.... I've only seen glow in the dark beads in large sizes, never smaller than 6/0 (4mm?). And more colors too! Hey... Toho....Β
I love the glow stuff too! I was playing with glow in the dark powder in acrylic powder, made some simple flower rings and found out how hard it is to get a good photo of glow... esp with my ancient 3.2 megapixel camera... it looks great to my eyes in the dark but to the camera it looks less impressive....
Your winged dragon is Magnificent! I think someone needs to write a fantasy book around your beaded characters...Β

Thanks
I have size 11 that glows under black light, but not in the dark If Toho had glowing size 15, it'd be so awesome...
My camera is a toaster too (I like it, but it is a toaster) XD Someone in the comments here advised to use a black light lamp to photograph the glow, will need to try when I get one. But the glow will always look much nicer in person.

We should suggest it to them Toho that is.... imagine.....Β
the acrylic powders with glow, glow really will and with Β pretty nice colors...
pity it is too hard to make beads
me too, camera is an antique... 32. mega

This is amazing! I need to find that thread. I've been wanting to make a beaded dragon with transparent beaded wings, and it'd be even cooler if it glowed in the dark. Just not polyester, synthetic itchy rash-maker.

Rrkra In reply to Hessanite [2014-04-01 19:42:42 +0000 UTC]
That should look cool
I'm not sure if there are non-polyester glowing threads, though... All the ones I've seen are synthetic.

Hessanite In reply to Rrkra [2014-04-01 21:12:04 +0000 UTC]
Dang. I'm going to search online. I won't be able to use polyester thread, I'm allergic.

Rrkra In reply to Hessanite [2014-04-01 21:17:53 +0000 UTC]
Ow
Other idea that comes to mind is glow-in-the-dark beads. But those are usually a bigger size, and not so easy to find...
Or glowing fabric dye + any other thread...

Hessanite In reply to Rrkra [2014-04-02 13:55:17 +0000 UTC]
I've found some thread online, but I don't have any way to get it for almost two weeks. So I'll just have to be patient and as annoying as possible once the time comes to get my thread.

I don't sell the big ones=/
It was months of work, so it's hard to figure out a price.
