In early Islam, people counted their dhikr (remembrance of God) using their fingers or small stones. By the 8th century, prayer beads called misbaha were widely used. Rather than digital counters, many people still love the feel of beads, with misbaha made from beautiful stones like agate & coral.

Small sculpture of an isabella tiger moth; made out of beads and wires; showing the left wing in focus where I tried filling in all the gaps with many tiny beads.

Same sculpture; showing off the right wing where I tried only putting black beads where there would be spots on the moth’s wing.

Yesterday I decided that I’m going to remake the moth. I think I used too many different beads and I want to try making a simpler design

Working on the wings has become very meticulous, trying to match the level of detail on the body. I tried two different ways but I’m not enjoying the process :/

No feet or head on this #wip yet as I realized I didn't have the right color bead rings. But that's okay, I can still bead the rest of it.
