Sarah, I'll try the R-geo approach suggested for a small, sought after kokopeli, and duck an integrated raster colorizer (five years to proto-type given my skills.) I've forwarded all this to Dr Massa. I would say though that things 'loom' tend to work both for fabric and bead. Glad you checked the thread.
