Eleanor Pigman's Beading

Beads have become quite popular on needlepoint canvas but as Eleanor Pigman's website, blog and Etsy store show us, we have only begun to scratch the surface of beading.  Eleanor lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, which has obviously influenced her subject matter.

Here is a video that explains the process Eleanor uses.

Her blog hasn't been updated in a while but it is fascinating nevertheless.
