Beading Knits-Part 2

I am exploring the contrast of shiny beads and organic yarns in my current collection. I have been tambour beading organza and then couching yarns of varying thickness on top to creating interesting fabrics.

Here are some progress photos:







And then the final product:



Both of these would dress up a simple silhouette and make a piece of clothing feel special. I envision the square/triangle motif (picture 1) being patterned out like the hexagonal motif (picture 2) to create a new fabric.

The next thing I would like to do is bead on knit fabric. I am not sure how the fabric will respond to being stretched on my Tambour frame so I will have to do a few trials. As always any tips are welcome!
