sprite/sal/fizzy, he/him queer kandi maker!

[spritepopkandi]

new intro post WOOHOO

Hi! My name is Sprite, but you can also call me Sal (or Salad!) and I'm a transqueer autistic guy with a special interest in kandi (going on about 4/5 years now)

I made this blog to help give others ideas and show off some of my things I've made over the years! im not too good at dming people though

some important things to note about me; I support xeno/neo genders/pronouns, and I believe that a person doesn't owe you an explanation of how they choose to express their sexuality and gender. I also do not support endos, proshippers or xenophobes. this blog will be drama free as im just here to post kandi :]

feel free to send requests/inspo to my inbox!! I love seeing everyone's ideas

currently n/a!!

my blog is NOT themed around my shop - this shop is just to fund some things and for fun!

This is the tutorial for the body of the tiger shark! I'm going to make another post for the fins and tail. I'm sorry the pictures are sort of small but I was having trouble adjusting the size of them so I just did the best I could

Do you have any tips for making kandi singles more complex and visually interesting?

I’ve been thinkin abt this one for a hot sec and honestly, I’m not too sure! I personally think every kandi is visually interesting to me :]

Idk if it’s helpful cuz I fear I’m not the greatest with advice & all, BUT I think about where I kinda started off. Adding charms and different shaped beads outside of pony beads is an easy way! This doesn’t necessarily mean going and buying charms either, you can make your own and add them on! :D (this I can try and make a mini tutorial for if anyone wants?). Doing some sort of pattern can help as well like repeating beads, maybe symmetry! <- this is a lil hard for me to explain but like repeating patterns (red, blue, yellow, red, blue, yellow & so on), or having some sort of symmetry like a big bead on either ‘end’ of the bracelet, and then smaller ones in between them. :P i kinda went and dissected one of my Kandis for examples of some visually!

I marked where it follows a color pattern in green (yellow, red, blue, and repeating). The beads connected by red lines are pretty evenly apart from eachother and white/very pale in color so it draws your attention all around the kandi! Where I have circled in a neon green, the sets of beads are across from eachother and have very similar shapes (round beads in between, with one star bead on each side). The beads connected by blue lines are a similar pattern to red lines where beads of the same color are across from eachother to draw your attention around the whole kandi rather than just a single spot standing out (like just bright beads in the front row, the rest kinda gets washed out?). The beads connected by purple lines are the exact same beads evenly apart and beads that are same in shape (but different colors fitting in with the over all color pattern) evenly apart from eachother. Then last (I believe) is explaining the ones I have circled in orange: my thought process here was trying to keep it visually following the color pattern in some way, and becuz I felt red and blue were possibly like, standing out more compared to the yellow becuz all of the yellow beads are smaller than the red and blue ones, I added the large yellow star shaker charm there so it can even it out a little more :]

Woah, gorgeous kandi collar!! What resources do you use for your weaves? Tutorials or guides , your choice of string? I've been doing larger scale kandi pieces for a little bit, but have been having a tougher time with the fishnet style weave. Your collar looks super clean and well done!!!

oh my goodness thank you so much!!

as far as string, I’m using one I don’t prefer as much just cause I have a lot, it’s 1mm elastic. Probably be better to use elastic cord (with the thread around it and stretchy center, I never remember the names) since it ties easier, but my 1mm clear elastic does stretch more, which helps and does not help in tightening my stitches

for patterns I’m yoloing this one- the top 6 rows (light pink) are basic 1 bead x base (x base is what the stitch is called if you need to find resources btw), then I did 3 by 3 (white) row, then 4 2by 2 (med pink), another 3 by 3 (grey) and am ending with 2 4 by 4 (hot pink) and more white (either a 4 by 4 or a 5 by 5 I haven’t picked). With ‘flat’ circles you have to either expand how many beads per stitch or how many stitches because the circumference gets bigger, but if you’re doing something vertical like a cuff you just keep the size and stitch count the same.

for example: making my collar I kept the same number of stitches, and added extra beads after a few rows of ‘x’ so itd flatten out instead of getting really really tall.

x base is actually pretty simple cause you’re essentially building repeating triangles, if that makes sense? You have a central bead that makes the points of the triangle, and you can stretch or shrink the sides as long as they are equal with eachother

Tutorials and guides was i learned how in person from @spritepopkandi who is probably a wizard??? Not helpful as far as online resources but. If you find a wizard. Utilize their skills
