Yeah there is always an update as I'm working constantly on this thing but sadly I have a live (family, work, household) also :awe: . So I have not always time to work on it but I admit the last two months I have not done THAT much on the bead picture. Plus I don't want to make an update picture every 10000 beads or so, it have to be a little more than that - anyway here is the current state :D .

I ordered 30,000 black beads online a while ago and the retailer rang me back wondering what the hell I wanted them for!

Normally I order my beads online (bigger colour palette available & cheaper :) ) but when I run out of a colour (which means I can't do anything on the weekend) I buy ca. 5 packages of them at the local store.

Update (not on the wall yet)
