~FR~ M and I have done beading, on me and I've beaded a few bottoms. We don't use suturing thread (though it seems obvious on retrospect), but a plastic coated beading wire, piercing with a needle then feeding the wire through the needle tip, then remove the needle, add the bead, and repeat. I don't have any really good photos of a finished pattern but an unfinished pattern (the bottom couldn't handle more piercing) can be seen here: http://home.satx.rr.com/elorin/av/beading.jpg More traumatic technique as you use low gauge needles instead of suturing needle, and lends itself more to geometric shapes and wide curves.
