This is fabulous! It looks incredible!
I'm going to be attempting to make one within the week, and I was wondering how you..
a) added beads and
b) changed colors on the inside silk
?
I can't seem to find any tutorials explaining either of the two!

^^ Well, adding the beads is easy, you have only to slip in the bead on the needle after you've made a knot, and then make the following knot. The beads are NOT inserted before you start the work, but only when you want to add a bead ^^
The change of the color is a little tricky: i closed the old color and started the new both with a double half hitch (it's the name of the knot, google it and you will find the instructions ) on the thread between two knots (the same place you will put a bead). The new color starts on the following "bridge" (the thread between two knots) respect where the old color closes.
I hope it was clear ^^
