Some time ago I found this incredible beaded hippocampus pattern and I knew I needed one. Well, actually at the time of this post I already made three 😁

Today I’ll show you one of them, my ace hippocampus, inspired by the colours from the asexuality pride flag.

Since a hippocampus is a mixture of a horse with a fish’s tail, I chose beads that most resembled the texture of these two parts. The beads for the mane are black opaque matte while the coat is grey colour lined, also with a matted finish. The fish tail is white opaque with a lustered finish which makes the beads extra shiny, while the fins are purple transparent with silver lining.
