| TMG- I just broke out all the huge containers of beads I have to FINALLY get some sparklers done, THEN...
I ran across your beaded flamingo pic... WOW! Love it! Perfect timing. I ran a search, but couldn't find your post, only where you ordered 24 more flamingos, HA,ha. Is there a post? I'd like to know what glue you used & did you sand the birds? Any other hints? I happen to have 2 yucky old flamingo's I need to spruce up. Also, I hate yellow and orange is so-so, EXCEPT in your flamingo... I'll gladly buy more pinks to use up the abundance I have of those! TNX for the eye candy! |

| Hi ! Be warned -- beading flamingos is addicting ! Here's the pic I posted earlier :
There's really no big secret to gluing on beads. I didn't do anything to the bird - just started gluing on beads. I started with small beads in all the indentations that seperate the feathers on the wings. Then I just filled the areas in and went from there. I didn't have a big over-all plan - I just went from section to section & saw where it took me & added what I thought looked nice. I'd draw in lines with a thin magic marker & follow them. I changed the lines alot - no one knows my mistakes ! I used Household Goop for glue - it grabs really fast and holds great .The beads were mostly 6mm & 8mm and seed beads. PS - I'm starting my second one soon ! |
