Beading: My Work Environment

This is an image of the necklace I'm currently beading:

The pad I'm working on is a square I cut from a yoga mat covered in the cotton of an old t-shirt. Taped in the back with clear packing tape.

The little 'bead boxes' are made from index cards, folded into box tops. (How to fold a paper box.)

The writing on the side is my pattern. The numbers correspond to the layout of the beads on the pad. (The top left and top right beads are the same color, but separated for sanity.)

After the initial design, it's a 'bead by numbers' game. Follow the pattern until its conclusion.
