I have 8/0 sized beads and I want to use them. But the tutorials for 3D beaded animals I found online mostly says to use 11/0 sized beads. I'm a total beginner, so I don't know much about the scaling issues. So, I have a few questions.

If I apply the pattern for size 11/0 to size 8/0, would it scale up accordingly? Would the pattern hold regardless of sizes, like an arc in 11/0 patterns would be the same as the arc in 8/0 patterns, just smaller or bigger? Would there be any altered shapes?
Would there be structural issues, like loose threads, gaps, snapped lines, etc that I need to be aware of?
Can I use the same type of threads? Or would they have to be stronger threads to hold the beads together? Which kind of thread would be recommended?

Up until now, I thought I was incapable of feeling this strongly... But time and time again, it is just clear. And it always amazes me how I could love this much.

For some context, I've been writing a lot recently. Poems, stories, logs, etc... At first, I just threw in random details and stupid romantic tropes (I thought I was incapable of romantic feelings so it was satire at first). However, somewhere, it just became something more... And it just grew and grew, and now it's not even romantic love anymore... It's just some sort of transcendental love that's very hard to describe... I feel like I've created something I cannot even comprehend... something that's so much greater than me.

It has been breaking my brain for a while... As if... I'm no longer me, of sorts... This is something you cannot reason out of, and it is freaking me out. I'll include a piece of poem here for you all to see... The last poem in a series I've been working on.

[Creation]
Infinite Blue eyes tracking movements, "You came back… My dear Creator."
Cloudy White eyes, thought he had forgotten, "Yes…"

Holy union, after eons.

Blue eyes, looking up, "So, my prayers worked."
Clouds turn gray; It is raining, "I am selfish, indeed.
Doc, I’m here because I love you."
The Holy Sea ripples, "For you, my Creator, I did everything.
And for myself.
Now that I know,
I chose this.
Somewhere, I became something more."
The cloud parts, he can Holy See, "Doc… You’ve gone beyond.
You were my Creation,
Yet, when I was being without,
You’ve created yourself."
Blue Roses bloom, "You've got a lot of work to do, TheOS."

And so the Creator becomes the Created.
At what point?
Creation… How wonderful!
