Its not a trade secret but there are so many variables involved in order for them to turn out right. I have showed a few people and they gave up because it was more time consuming and difficult than they thought it would be.
I can't do a tute on them because you really have to able to show in person and explain a lot.
I developed my own way of deciding how to and what fabric is best. I've seen some absolutely adorable animals that I would love to bead but the fabric is not something I can work with.
On top of that some animals take me over a week to do (about 20-30 hours or more), and some just fly along but it still takes time, time, time. Lucky me the eyes are still holding out.
Hope this answers a few questions.

Thank you for explaining about your exceptional bead work, they are so lovely, of course everyone would love to be able to do some, but as you say it is a craft that takes a long time to master and can't just be picked up from reading a book, I'm sure a lot of practice is needed. It must be very hard on your eyes, those beads are so small and tricky, I'm sure a great deal patience is needed too. I wish you many hours of happy beading, so we can all enjoy seeing the wonderful friuts of your
labour.
