Step 2The beads. . .
First step is to find the beads that you want to use for this glossy method. It is best if you use flat beads. I played with a bunch of different ideas for this one particular piece, I finally decided on a nice shell bead with a color that matched my theme. But you could use metal, wood, or frankly any other material you would usually put on necklace, as long as it is relatively flat.
Next you will need the images you want to adhere to the beads. This could be a family photo, a quirky message or anything you want. I used images that matched my project proposal, which is a collection of creation and origin myths from many different cultures. The important thing is that you size the image to match the bead. They don't have to be sized uniformly but doing so will give you a more professional look.
