  it is not a bead at all, but a stone that is cut and polished.
  In encrusted beadwork, you "capture the cabochon" and you piece begins with 
  capturing your cabs. And, then you work from there.  I work on Laceys Stiff 
  Stuff, and I use Fireline in my work.  To anchor my cab before anything else 
  begins, I use a very tiny "glue dot" to adhere the cab down to the stiff 
  stuff and so I can begin the bead working process on the cab.

  I use natural stones I gather from the rivers here in PA, and other objects 
  as well, besides stone cabs in my work.  My most recent works tell a story. 
  I use fabrics as a base, with the Lacey's Stiff Stuff beneath the fabric - I 
  baste them together to make them flat, and then I begin the bead working. I 
  work over top of the images on the fabric, as if they were not even there. I 
  disregard them completely as I work - thus, creating an abstract painting 
  out of beadworking.  This is called "overcoming the surface."  It is very 
  complex in execution and in finished piece of art.
