It started out when my daughter and I was playing with Hama beads (http://www.hama.dk). I wanted to create some better and more funny pegboards. So I created this little program to convert a 24bit image to a pegboard. I have seen a few on the internet but all of them assume that you have all the beads in every color. So I have created a version where you can specify a list of the beads that you and your kid have.
I have added 2 color list of beads that I have found online. Unfortunately Hama does not have en RGB color codes needed to create a complete list.
The software is written using Python 2.7.x so of course Python is a requirement (Get it from python.org). The following libraries are also required: Pillow (Fork of PIL) and Colormath
pip install pillow
pip install colormath
Created using: ./beads.py -i images/donald.jpg -b beads/multiplebeads.txt -f -o images/donald_multifast.jpg
As a bonus I have added a converted photo of a Lemur using the beads I had available in multiplebeads.txt
Diplay the number beads for every color needed to create the pegboard
