What makes beadwork read as beads?

The highlight on each bead and the small dark gaps between them. Without those two cues it collapses into a generic mosaic — the specular point is what tells the eye each element is a rounded, reflective object.

Which images survive a bead grid?

High-contrast subjects with clear shapes. Beads carry limited detail individually, so the image has to work at the scale of the bead grid rather than at the scale of the original pixels.
