Making a Beetle Droid (Brooch) // More Beading!

A beaded beetle bot brooch? Why not! Meet BT-11, my little droid beetle ready for reconnaissance and lockpicking, etc. Using the same techniques as I have been developing all year, and a mixture of sequins, rhinestones, wires, threads, and beads on felt, I spent a very full day making this little buddy. I want to make a crystal beetle next, but then I have a big bug project in the works that won't be a brooch, but you'll have to wait for that one! It looks like General Bead are currently temporarily closed!? Hopefully they come back!
