Hey Allen, I've been to Birmingham - my deceased aunt lived there and I spent Christmas there when I was 10. Actually my Dad grew up in Dublin - it's about 40 miles south of Montgomery near Ramer and Grady - tinee little villages.
About your questions - this bead has no encasing but it's entirely possible to encase before application of the flower dots.
Yes, the background vine stringer has intense black and is encased because green spreads if not encased.
The stamen cane (center of the flower) also has intense black lines but is NOT encased because that would prevent the lines from spreading into the white petals.
