I'm so happy with the breakthrough I made on the petals of this floral! It really pops against the black and I like the way the striped stringer works. I'll be trying this combo again for sure, but this is Songflower I. Sold on Ebay!
|
The base of this 2-blossom floral is dark grey with blue goldstone frit and a vein of lightly silvered ivory. It looks like a red Niobe clematis on Volga blue granite. It's sparkly and dramatic and I love how it turned out!
|
Six rich blue flowers bloom gloriously on the tundra, with a glittering vein of golden sparkle snaking across the rocky ground! Could it be the Mother Lode?

Spooky and sparkley! 50mm x 18mm! Features electric blue base, silvered, with rubino scrollwork re-traced in dichro stringer, 2 dichro'ed layered dot flowers, 4 cane flowers and silver plum wound endcaps. Hard to photograph!
|
Lots of bubbles in this one, but it fits the watery theme! I do like the background in this one as well. Nice sparkly goldstone twistie.
|
Juicy colours in this one! Four large red three-petaled lilies and two five-petalled white accent flowers. I'm very happy with the silvered ivory and fritted turquoise base.
|
|
I love the metallic reactions in the background of this bead. A colleague suggested a white bead on a black background and this was the result. The accent flowers are experimental - I'm still working on that technique but it's kind of fun.
|
This one turned out very crisp and deep. A nice shape and the goldstone stringer gives sparkle. On this bead, the goldstone went very dark - I must have given it extra heat which caused a copper/sulphur reaction. Not a bad one, though.
|
I added goldstone to the petals of the red flowers and it turned black because the copper goldstone reacted with the sulphur red. I like the look, though! I also love the background texture here.
|
|
This one has less depth than usual (just one layer of encasing) but I love how the colours pop!
|
One of my most dramatic flowers ever! I love how crisp and sharp it is. And the goldstone stringer really glitters! Truly a rockstar bead. Note that all these beads are just balanced on their ends for the photograph! I am fastidious about even ends. :)
|
I finally figured out how to take a decent photograph!
|
|
This was my first double flower attempt. I had been really intimidated about trying them for a long time!
