Thanks. I completely agree with the ironing. I now understand why people only iron one side now on larger works. I started ironing the top side and some areas were higher then others and needed more heat. That's what caused the uneven ironing. Next time I am going to flat iron the back side and try and leave the front untouched and mount it on some foam core.

I had only been beading for about 3 weeks before I did this project so I'm definitely still learning as I go.

thanks again for taking your time and giving me some critique.

-Pete

No problem. ^_^ What I usually do is flip the pattern over, so I'm ironing the back side, and leave the front all beady looking. ^_^

I'll be honest I wouldn't start anything this big at all. Although this is a very easy design compared to some of my other works the sheer size of this is no task for a beginner. I would look up mario sprites and bead a few of those first. Just a mario, power ups, goombas ect. This will help you get a feel for beading and ironing (the hardest part). When beading these images each pixel is one bead. So pick a sprite from here www.mariouniverse.com/sprites/… the save it to your computer and zoom in all the way to the one you want and begin beading. Start small. Also this took like 10 plus boards. It would be a very expensive first project with out the skills to complete it.

Instead of "How far" you could also have written "In how many castles..."

vudumonkey25 In reply to crazyantman1 [2011-09-05 01:24:14 +0000 UTC]

Yes it's custom, I had to use the sprites from the characters and the ground and build the scene. You are welcome to make it though. I only ask that you send a pic my way so I can see what you did with it! I also have my bead sheets, original image and bead usage chart if you want them. Just send a message.

That's a good line!

I played this game on the SNES (All Stars version), and it's hard to fathom having to go against a fire breathing monster to save your beloved

I love the joke that Peach makes during her resuce that was added in the English version

I always wondered why, if the Princess has some seemingly inexhaustible cache of Jewels (P-Wings, Jugem Clouds, Stars, etc.) why in the world wouldn't she use them herself to ESCAPE? lol. I mean, obviously the MAIL is working okay if she can just keep sending letter after letter after letter....
