Question:
How do you do
your pictures with lying Nabbi-beads?
They are so nice.
What are
your colors for your Santa Claus?
Answer:
There are people with
patience. Not I, no-no. On the Web you can see movies where pärlplatteläggare (bead layer)
puts a bead at a time, get a new bead, put it down, take ONE new bead, etc.. Do you
not use your fingers, I have even read that you can use pliers :-( What is next?
Using boxing gloves? I want it to go quickly, so I pick up 8-10 beads on a
toothpick, let them down on the pegboard and get more. If you have the patience to
take ONE and put down ONE bead at a time, then you can put them lying, so I made a
small picture with a Santa Claus to shw how you can place the beads without seeing the holes. Put glue - suitable for tree or plastic
- on a cardboard disc and add two
lines of pearls at a time.
The dark blue background, is PP17 (blue) and NABBI dark blue.

Question:
The picture with two portraits, how did you do it?
Answer:
Yes, like this: I scanned in the photos and tried to do something new in
scrapbooking style. It is a little picture just 30 cm high and 40 cm wide.
I used the PhotoPearl program to generate patterns for faces, then I put them and
left emty rows around them. I made the background in one color and made a girland with leaves and some hearts.
When I had put on the adhesive sheets on the back and attach the
picture on a cardboard, I put gold and silver beads around the portraits, with lying gold beads
around the left photo and lying silver beads around the right one.
Technology: Adding Nabbi-beads after-generated designs and my own invention.
Glue with adhesive sheets and mount in the frame. 4800 Nabbi-beads were used. Dimensions:
60 beads high and 80 beads wide.

Question:
How did you do it to make the image of
bananas from 1945?
Answer:
The card was in black and white, which most at that time.
I colored the banana in my image program, then generated a pattern with the PhotoPearl
program, placed the beads according to the pattern, but made the background in color. Used
technology: Scan photo, image processing, generate patterns with PhotoPearls,
add beads after the pattern but with some changes.
