This video shows one of my Glass bead butterflies, with a base of gold material that is 3D printed. I chose colors of teal, aqua, ivory and gold in my tiny glass beads for this figurine. Any areas on the figure to be finished with beads are covered with thin layers of a resin wax for bead application. The tiny beads are applied by hand with small needle awls. After application, the bead surface is cleaned of any residue and is sealed for protection.
