Beading Update

I have been busy beading one of my entries for the Sydney Quilt Show. It has gone from this to this ...
The white string isn't beading ... it's where the next lot of beads are supposed to go. It won't work out that way ... they'll go the way that they want to ... but the string shows The Plan.

One problem is that the beads keep sinking down into the faux felt made up of wool tops, silk tops and extra threads I added to the mix. Here is a closeup shot of the beading in the top half.

I've noticed that the more beads I add, the better it looks. So I guess I'll keep beading away until it looks 'beaded'.
