No, I don't Sketch them out.  I just grab stones and arrange them and I see the piece as I want it in my mind.  I have only sketched out a couple things in the past - metal clay pieces mostly where I would be using the resulting drawing for templates.

Would you ever consider doing a tutorial on how to do a (much simpler) version of something like this? I am mightily impressed. This is simply stunning work.

The Facebook page for this forum has a tutorial I posted several months ago showing how to do a peyote stitch bezel around a cabochon.  That is probably the best place to start.

It's not so much patience, as it is just ambition to get it done.  This piece had a good 72 hours into it.
