At the class last evening I beaded around my face cabochon using tubular peyote and started the same stitch around these holeless dyed mother of pearl sequins. The first one on the left is finished and now I am on the middle of the 2nd row. You can see where I started putting the next row on the bottom right of the sequin inbetween each bead, skipping every other bead. If you don't skip when you start to build on the 2nd row, they will tend to bunch up. Then on the start of the 3rd row you will thread one bead on to weave through each bead of the 2nd row. I still am not sure what to place for her seashells on her chest, LOL..hmmmmmmmmm, maybe pearls or brass disks.
