Article Abstract:
A technique in beadwork using peyote stitches and applique was presented as well a discussion on the use of cabochons as materials for bezels. The applique technique utilizes the backing of leather and fabric. Another way of making beaded bezels is by using any type of beadwork as backing and creating the bezel by peyote stitch.

More beaded bezels
Article Abstract:
Cabochons and small carvings can be made into beadworks through contouring and embroidery. Applique is the best method to achieve curved beadworks since it can follow the direction of the layout. Furthermore, strong materials such as deerskin or ultrasuede should be used for the beadwork's backing.
