THREE-DIMENSIONAL BEAD SYSTEM FOR CRAFT ARTS.

摘要

A novel craft art form product, system, and method including patterns (90, 130), paint, and applicators (150) enabling craft paint to form three-dimensional color bead matrix patterns (10) having high degree of visual resolution and color saturation. Precisely located and closely spaced geometric shapes (80) associated with a set (86, 88) of color symbols (84) are used to form matrix designs in patterns (90, 130). Each symbol (84) represents an artistic expression which is assigned to a particular color. Each color symbol (84) has a color darkness value which may also correspond to the darkness value of the assigned color. The craft paint material has the characteristics of forming a discrete substantially uniform and homogeneous, three-dimensional bead (14) to overlay the color symbol (84) associated with each geometric shape (80). The craft paint material can form discrete beads (14) placed closely together without running together, yet retain sufficient fluidity to settle into smooth, substantially uniform beads (14). A fine tip applicator (150) applies the craft paint material to each geometric shape.
