Luke Skywalker (Beaded ESB cast, part 1/3)Part of my beaded cast of Empire Strikes Back set.The doll itself is quite simple because there’s really not much detail to the grey suit he’s wearing for most of the movie, apart from the belt with all the little pockets. What gave me most trouble was finding beads in a colour that at least comes close to the colour of the fabric, which seems to be some kind of unidentifiable greiysh colour with maybe a touch of green? or beige? In any case, for some reason none of my bead suppliers sell beads in “unidentifiable greiysh green beige”, so I tested out various options until I found one that at least came close. Part of the problem is that these seed beads are mostly made for jewellery, so you’ve got great choice when it comes to all kinds of shiny and sparkly finishes, but only very few when you’re looking for more “drab” colours. Apparently I’m a niche beader…***Materials: MIYUKI and TOHO 11° and 15° seed and cylinder beads, round beads, bugle bead, felting wool, craft wireSize: approx. 3.3 inches/8.5 centimetres -- source link
