That's incredible, I barely have the patience to finish anything around 15k beads. Even then it takes me weeks or months haha.
Some advice for ironing: I remember seeing a huge wall piece Serenity perler, and the guy who made it said he ironed its square individually, labeled them on the back, and hung them piece by piece together. And I think he used an exacto knife to keep it clean looking. The advantage to this method is it would be hella lighter to pick up and move between buildings.
Whatever you choose, good luck to ya!

What program did you use

Iron it bit by bit and keep heavy hard cover books on top of the ironed areas you're not on atm or you'll have very nasty curling

I was thinking about ironing in 2x2 squares then trimming the edges and trying to glue it all down and hope it turns out well

that could work. just be careful not to over iron the edge beads XD

2x2 is a good idea, just make sure you don't over cook the edges on your first pass, so they melt together better when you seal the seams. Also might want to just iron it on one side, and then seal it on the opposite side. This piece is MOST impressive....The God Thanos would be pleased

Yeah I have some smaller 20k pieces i might test ironing out on first. Now I just need to figure out my next project.. Not sure if I want to go even bigger or just do some 50k size pieces

Agreed with Ellsworth. 95 K beads would be around 200 $ just for the beads were I live.
Don't know if this is for a commission but man' if it is, the customer is gonna have to give you fat stack of money for this one !
At least I'm releaved that you make in weeks than in just one week. Because that would an insane amount of time spent !
I can see 8 x 13 pegboards is that correct ?

Haha I wish I sold some of the pieces. I kind of just do it for myself but am more then willing to sell someday. Yeah as it turns out I set a new record for myself and was able to use 50k beads in one week. Yeah its 8 1/2 x 13 or so

I don't know if you are into conventions or even posting your work on Facebook, Twitter or Reddit but I can really see one work like this one sold to a massive fan for over 300 $ if the price sound good to you.
Just need to find the right customer !

Yeah I might try to get into a convention sooner or later but seeing as the piece cost me at least $200 in beads and nearly 100 hours to complete I'm not entirely sure what I would be willing to sell it for
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To tell you about selling I tend to sell one pegboard full around 5 $ from there you can start putting a price and see with a potential customer to lower it. Bargaining !
I do admit this would be perfect in a marvel series fan collection. Not something that you see everyday, handmade and pretty badass.

HOLY CRAP. My mind is just BLOWN. I have never seen a piece with 95k beads!
You ironed each square separately yes? Did you melt them together afterwards? I'd imagine this giant thing would be hellish to try to pick up in one piece!
THIS NEEDS MORE EXPOSURE. I'm putting this to Perler-Beads :3

Thanks for helping me get a bit of exposure! I havent Ironed anything yet. Its all still held together with tape. I dont know when I'll get a chance to attempt ironing but it wont be fun I'm sure
