Flower Power

First of all some good news. Bead magazine has accepted another one of my projects! This time it’s for one of my book thongs, which I’m really pleased about : )

At the moment I’m working my way through The Beader’s Floral by Jill Devon and Liz Thornton. It’s a fabulous book and I’d highly recommend it to any beaders who love flowers. Hopefully I’ll be learning how to create a new flower every day and posting photos of the finished flowers as I make them. Eventually they’ll all be made into one piece of jewellery – no idea what, I haven’t actually planned that far ahead!

Here’s the first flower, a Stargazer Lily made with herringbone stitch.
