The practice of embroidering with beads and sequins has long been used to add glamour and style to evening wear and accessories. Its exquisite, delicate nature means it is often utilized in couture fashions, but it can be equally effective when worked onto clothing of any kind, or when used for decoration, such as on cards, cushions and bags, or simply to create beautiful embroideries. In whatever context, this is a thoroughly rewarding craft that brings stunning results.
