>Fused DeLorean

>

Finally, I think I have finished my second beaded DeLorean time machine! I stitched on my vinyl molding piece (without breaking my needle!) Then, I stitched all my beaded layers together, including Einstein and his driver's seat. I also stitched on more wires and a fuse.

Now, there are 3 fuses in the piece. Two of them are actually automotive fuses (green & orange) and they are stitched in behind the driver's seat of the car. The flux capacitor is also there, but you cannot see it- you'll have to use your imagination for that... ;) The other fuse is a regular clear glass one that I attached to the roof of the car using two pieces of gray electrical wire and some E-6000 glue. You can see how it is attached in the photo below.

Overall, I think it's a fair likeness of the actual Back to the Future movie car...

Now, I can start working on my third & final piece of the trilogy...
