Hi,
I have a 2 color logo that I want to bead. The finished product will be a badge.
I have scanned the image. But cannot figure out how to get this image on top of an even count peyote graph. And, once that is done, how to get the combined (logo on graph) image onto the stiff material I am using for a backing so that I can bead right on top of the image.
Any suggestions?
THanks so much!

Hi
If you copy a peyote graph onto clear acetate/plastic you can place this on top of your logo/design, and then you have the graph you need to do peyote. If you want to do bead embroidery, I wiuld suggest you transfer the design using embroidery carbon papaer/transfer paper ( stiff backing, carbon paper, design, trace over the design), and fill in the spaces with beads. I don't know if this will help, there are many talented bead embroidery people on this site. Good Luck

You can also try to draw the logo or image onto a piece of Stiff Stuff or other bead embroidery medium using colored pencils or permanent markers.  One of the benefits of doing it that way is that the colors from the markers will make sure that you don't see any of the bead embroidery medium peeking out between your rows of embroidery.

Good luck!  Let us see the finished piece if you can!
