Need a suggestion or help with wire working

Hi to all of you guegrues out there with wire working! I have a question.

I am creating a center piece from a square picture jasper that, In my mind, I would sew some different kind of seed beads, and then incorporate some small wire working to create this pendent. Here is the question. Do I glue, adhesive, the wire art to the seed beads, or how do I place this wire working onto the stone with the sewed beads?

Hi Luanne
I think it really depends on the Jasper and what sort of effect you're going for. You could wire-wrap a cage and then incorporate the seed beads, or if it's a flat-backed cabochon and you want to do bead sewing you could always try the seed bead bezel option. Try sketching out a few options?

It's a flat-backed cabochon, I thought about caging the cabochon, but I wanted to give it some POP with some copper and brown. Then considering the wire working would go into the look at the top.

Is this tutorial any good for you?
