Beaded Pluto: First Post

I mentioned a few posts back that I had started working on another beaded project.  This is the piece I designed for Pluto that is similar to the one I made for Chip 'n Dale.

To the right is the image I used to make my pattern.  However, I did not do the extreme shading they did in the image.  I wanted him to look more "old school" like the original animations.

This one is a bit simpler than Chip 'n Dale.  I was thinking of adding a bone in the upper left hand corner as I had added the acorn in Chip 'n' Dale, but I didn't like the way it looked and eventually abandoned that idea.

So I started off with a bang, 41 rows completed.  Granted quite a few of those were only two colors, but still, it was quick.

As of April 21, 2015, 41 Rows

When I started working on Pluto I slowed down a bit.

As of April 28, 2015, 57 Rows

And then I took a break.  And today I worked on a whole bunch.

As of July 7, 2015, 87 Rows

I did 30 rows, completed 2 colors and got most of his head done.
