Start with a base colour (black) and put on a set of contrast dots (white)

This is what it looks like on a bead

And melted in:

Add a further set of base colour (black) in between the white dots.

Repeat this with dots in between each of the white dots

You should have something that looks like this (but on a round bead)

Add a white dot (using a stringer) on top of each of the black dots

Add a black dot (using a stringer) on top of each of the white dots

Add a black dot (using a stringer) on top of each of the original larger white dots

Add a white dot (using a stringer) on top of each of the central black dots

Add a small black dot (using a stringer) between each of the original large white dots

Stop, when you feel you have done enough

Anyway, hopefully this shows the principle. Now you just have to accomplish this on a round bead.
