As I will be using the Nguni people as one of my subject matters, the usage of beads in the formation of my narrative will play a vital role. Since it's been years since I beaded anything of substance, I had decided to kick start the beading section of the design process by playing around with some more fun beading techniques.
The above and below picture is a test neckpiece, just to get my hands in tuned with the relaxing beading process.
There were loads more test and trial beading projects I have done and will be lowing them in sequence of creation.
