Yes it is beeswax that I sculpt to form and then push each bead, one at a time into the wax. I don't apply anything one it is done as the wax holds the beads in place. You don't want to display any of then in a sunny window as it is wax. However, they will stand the years of time if kept it a good location as any work of art. You don't display any works of art in direct sun. Here is a photo of bead application with a tool that I make from a tpin that is covered with fimo clay for easy handling. The project that I am working on in the photo is of a white buffalo. The gourd is huge. I can't even put my arms around it. I will send you some photos of it on your dmail.
