Beaded Chip 'n Dale: First Post

I've been wanting to work on this one for a while.  I love Disney, really, what's not to love?  A while back I created a bunch of charts with Disney characters, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Chip 'n Dale & Tinkerbell.  I took some images I found and made them into beading charts.  My two favorites out of them were Pluto and Chip 'n Dale.  To the right is the image I used to make Chip 'n Dale.

All the cartoons I remember had them as the same color so that's how I'm going to make them, plus there aren't a lot of browns in Delicas.  Chip and Dale will be made from shiny beads, while the background will be matte beads.

I decided to start on this when I ran out of one of the bead colors I needed for Logan.  While creating this pattern the upper left corner seemed a little bare so I added an acorn.  You can see a little bit more than half of it in the first progress picture.

Now you can see all of the acorn, their eyes, and Dale's red nose has appeared.

I didn't get as much done today as I have been getting done, but their heads are now complete.

The beads for Logan have probably arrived, so I'll pick those up when I get back home.  I'll probably go back and forth working on these two for the time being.  And maybe add some french beaded flowers in the mix!
