Phoenixby *arctic-predator

Artisan Crafts / Miscellaneous

size: 14cm from top to toe

This is one of my favourite pieces. But it's also the one that took me by far the longest time to get the right materials. It was so hard to get the colours I imagined. Believe me or not, I have searched three years to get those great beads: high-quality japanese delica beads. I have not worked with them before, but they instantly convinced me. The quality of these beads is simply outstanding. So, to all the beaders out there: Try them out, they are worth their money!

The colour concept of the bird is fully done by me, I only used some guidelines for the body itself. I tried to make it look like a flame, as a phoenix always goes up in flames before it is reborn from the ashes. The branch it is sitting on is also done by me without guidlines. Hope you like it!

Woa

my first DD! Never would have thought of that!! So many many thanks to =Soulia for suggesting and ^Hanratty-Stock for featuring!!

Please comment before faving!

That's a wonderful one! I wanted to make phoenix to my boyfriend, but never got the right colors, too.

But these are great!
If still you remember some of the codes, could you tell me?

~arctic-predator Apr 24, 2012 Student General Artist

Thanks a lot

I do have numbers but only the ones of the german reseller

Guess they won't help you that much... Anyway I can tell you the exact type of beads I used: They're silver-coated and have a size of 2mm, the colours I used are gold, red, light red and orange. Hope it helps

Haha, thank you, I meant the codes.. like DB-42 and so on, but this could help a little, too

~arctic-predator Apr 25, 2012 Student General Artist

Yeah, I know I also searched on the internet for the right ones, but it's difficult to decide from the tiny pics they offer

I searched the packing for them but they are unfortunately not inscriped, sorry

Don't worry, I'm glad to know I did everything to find it

I think I'll try bead size 11/0 (smaller).. It's hard to find the right ones here.. even though the Germany's near

~arctic-predator Apr 25, 2012 Student General Artist

I wish you luck
