Greetings from România! My name is Claudiu Alexandru and I use these fuse beads since 2012. In the past, I’ve made a multicolor Lion head also from the smallest pieces (~47k, 17 colors) in 85 hours. After 6 years of that Lion, I decided finally to do something truly realistic from this tinniest fuse bead ( a grain of rice Size, 2,5 mm diameter ). I’ve spent 150 hours doing this and another 10 hours for assembly only using grandma’s tweezers. It was a tremendous amount of patience and careful work bead by bead. This project is from Perler beads (hama brand mini beads 2,5 mm diameter aka a grain of rice size pieces ).
The project has 58,482 pieces, 86 × 43 cm with frame, and 40 colors used. I’ve spent 2 weeks just editing the design. I want realism, and I was focusing on eye detail. Bonus: I’ve added RGB remote led behind each eyeball, and they fit perfectly (swimming Poll round led) For a little bit of touch, or something unique just to use at night maybe. I want to make a custom portrait from this fuse bead.
For people.

How much this would have cost... and the detail!! This was NOT an easy feat. Awesome job!!!
I ve invested 300 euro to build that, and alot of time as you see in the article. I will try to sell at an auction When i will obtain Guiness certificate, otherwise i ll estimate my piece around 5k ... ( is my opinion ) i didn t see anyone do that amount of detail or a complex piece like this. Thank you very much!
