So, after having finished Her shawl, I'm planning to make Mo'at's beaded top, too.

First I made it for mini-Mo'at. It was easy, but also less complicated than a "real size" one. (By real size I mean my size.  ;D)

But! To make a bigger top I desperately need some very good quality photos of the original one! Especially the top of the front of it, near the neck where it can't be seen in the Film!
So, if any of you has any photos of the kind, e.g. from the Exhibition, would you please share it with me so that I will be able to reproduce this precious piece of clothing?!
Than you very much for your help in advance!

Until then here's the mentioned piece in XXS size:

Approximately one third of the needed amount is strung already. (The same kind of beads as mini-Mo'at's.) Wish us lots of patience!

This amount is just one third? Oh, it looks like really big project :) Etrìpa syayvi!

I have so much respect for you for doing making Mo'at bead gown, I looked into it very briefly once, acquiring that many beads is no easy feat and I "noped" out so quick. Really, good job, so many beads.

P.A.'li makto

Well, let me tell you that beading is the easiest part of the project. (It's only matter of time and patience.) :) There are much more difficulties in it then we had thought originally. Kif is fighting with the "spine-like" part very heavily!

By my previous calculation it needs about 224 m of strings, and some 138756 beads. But it's not for sure. I will be able to tell you a more exact number when it's ready.  :)

Using 320661  beads can be awesome...
320661 is the number of pictures you find when you extract from the Bluray (full version)
One bead per picture  ;D

It's simply unbelievable, I didn't expected such number. I hope you didn't count it one by one :)

Of course not!  :) I measured the beads (they're quite tiny, 2mm), made some drawings, and tried to figure out the number/length  of the needed strings... I suppose it' s a maximum number, so hopefully it will be less than that.  :)
The technique is very simple, I can even watch films while doing it. (For weeks I've been doing a "Northern Exposure" marathon; one episode is long enough to string 4-4.5 m-s...)

That is pretty amazing and stunning at the same time. I'd never have the patience for this, though I like to knit and stuff, but THIS?! I don't know what to say, except for WOU nì'aw. Nga lu maweypeyyu nang! Txantsana fkxilet sleyku ngal! :)

All the bead-strings have been finished.
Next task: the central spine-like part of the gown. Being in progress...

Trying to make a frame for the gown, the two "spines" are attached together. (Not the final version; it needs painting first.)

P.S.: My right arm was burnt 2 hours ago when making pizza...

Pretty amazing, looks like that was quite some work, wasn't it?! ;D

Looking forward to see more of the progress to come :) Keep it up!  :D

 I'm sorry that your arm was burned, that must have been quite a string of Hungarian when THAT happened. Please show us the gown when it is finished.

Actually, I'm quite used to it. (Very clumsy gal...  :P)   ;D It's a crime what I do to my body all the time!  :-X
