Questions and answers
|
It happens every now and then that I get
questions about how I have done.
Because many may have use for my answers,I
have collected some questions with answers here.
I start with issues related
to the exhibition in Bjärnum in May 2008.
Question: When I make a
picture with the light blue sky, it becomes white with bright yellow dots.
How are you doing to get a light blue sky?
Answer: I replace the pp21 to
pp28 in the sky. Are there too few dots, I add more.

Question: I did like this picture so much, so I photographed the same wall, but it is only drab
brown, when I generate patterns with the PhotoPearls program. How did you do?
Answer: Yes, it happened to me too, but I wanted so badly to have a picture
of the wall, so I used my normal paint program first, and painted in the joints
with light gray. Eventually I got a nice picture (though it differs slightly
from the motif).

Question: How did you do the northern lights, so it shimmers
so nice?
Answer: The picture with the Northern lights is done with most iridiscent
beads. The motive was drawn on a cardboard disc, then lying beads were glued on. They had to be lying to
obtain the shimmer.

Nabbi-faces, made on little round pegboards, ironed and glued on a base.

Question: The big speckled grey cat has beautiful eyes.
What color are they?
Answer: They are Nabbi turquoise-beads. They are
better suited to the cat eyes than the colors, available in PhotoPearl range.

Question: How do you make taps to the sink?
Answer: Attach a pipe-cleaner in the back on the sink, put
on some silver beads and end with one you have ironed a little. Iron two silver beads
and glue them on the sides.
So you can do the nobs to the doors, too.

Question: I want the shadow on the other side. Is it possible?
Answer: Yes, when you put the subject on a pegboard, place an emty pegboard on
the subject, stick together and turn, there you have the image reversed. If you do
so, with all 4 pegboards, the motif becomes a mirrored image.
