To some this may be a silly question, But here goes anyway.
I have a brooch finding and I have no idea where or how to start. I hope the picture attached will help. Thanks to all again.

you could thread a needle and sew from back to front adding a bicone or small bead with a seed bead last return needle back through the bead but not through the seed bead then back through brooch, does this make sense? sorry cant find a picy to show you

Thank you Lilac Moon I wasnt sure if it was compeleted using thread or if you could use fine wire .04, and cut it at the badk each time. after you attach each seed bead singually Are you using special beading thread or would beading wire not the one for wire wrapping but the other one for threading beads. Sorry if this sounds sily. Kingrolo

I'd try something like 7-strand beadalon or something similar, I reckon. But I've never attempted anything with a sieve base (you can get ring blanks with them on too).

I'd also use a variety of different types of beads to add texture and depth to the brooch.

Post the results when you're done!
