What you need to do:
1. use Base64 to convert your image to a String
2. encode the String. Note: the Maximum character storage capacity is 4,296 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QRcode[^]
If the string length of the Base64 data is greater than 4296, you will fail to encode with QR code.

You dont. Its that simple.

You should really be encoding the URL to the image on a web server.
