This technique is really beautiful. Just after I graduated from design school a class in tambour beading became available and I missed it. So I taught myself. It's not hard just tedious but entirely worth it and actually kind of relaxing. I listen to a lot of this podcast while I do it.

Beautiful Losers a documentary directed by Aaron Rose

'In the early 1990's a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the "establishment" art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture.'
