Intricate beading

Now i have started my final dress, i have begun the beading on the front of the bodice. the beading will be in a paisley pattern, similar to these.

i enjoy hand beading as it is something i have done since i was little, so i find it easy to sit down and spend hours sewing beads. the paisley design fits in with my original 1960s theme, as paisley was very popular then.
