Beading a “Shield“ Beetle // Order of the Beaded Beetle?🛡️

Hear ye, hear ye, today a new order is established! Is this taking things a little too far? Maybe. Today I am beading some shield beetles, to look sorta like shields 🛡️✨ At least these ones are a little more subtle since I wanted them to look aged. Should I make some more of these in a more ultra heraldic style? The shortest strand of my bead sash is 17 inches long, the longest is 21 inches long, adjust as needed for desired effect and human wearing said sash. I used “crystal“ beads from Michaels for mine!
