Bead embroidery

Dear users, dear authors,
How does bead embroidery work?
Thanks for any info.

das will ich auch wissen. Das kann ich überhaupt nicht. Bitte ganz viele Infos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there, I just read this here. Well, I once tried embroidering a small design (a fish) with beads. I just used a piece of canvas (one with a slightly wider weave because of the seed beads) or some embroidery ribbon, and instead of doing a cross-stitch, I stitched diagonally—from one corner of a square to the other.
So, start from the bottom by piercing the fabric with the thread, bring it out at one corner of a square, pick up the desired bead, and pierce back through the opposite corner of the square. Continue like this row by row, just like with a regular embroidery design. Always stitch the thread in one direction; that way, the beads all lie in the same direction, which looks better.
I hope this explanation has helped clarify things a bit. Maybe someone else can explain it even better.
