These beads feature my interpretation of a rainforest backgraound and are then covered with an orchid plant on the surface.

Amethyst Nights

Amethyst Nights

Yes! I know, I have gone Orchid nuts lately! I'll get it out of my system eventually, but until then here is another Orchid Bead.
The base is made with clear and dark amethyst. I used several different frits and enamels to create the night sky. And last but not least, I just had to put another orchid on it. This one is covered in rich pink and yellow blooms.
It is also up for auction right now on eBay.

Blue-Violet Orchids

Blue-Violet Orchids

This is one of my favorite techniques. I use copper to create the turquise background and then embelish with Orchids.
Since I always kill the real ones, these are the only kind I can keep around!

Candy Apple Yellow Orchids

Candy Apple Yellow Orchids

The colors in these orchids remind me of candied apples and butterscotch.
The bead core is a translucent alabaster white with various frits and enamels and a strand of silver beading.

Night Blooming Orchids

Night Blooming Orchids

This bead is made with translucent alabaster glass that makes light appear to glow from within the bead. The background is black with red flecks and a strand of bright pale blue streaming around it. It is encased in a very thin layer of clear glass and then a single white and red orchid plant is on the surface. I usually put more flowers on the backs of my floral beads, but the background of this bead looks so stunning that I wanted to leave it as it is.

Exotic pink and lavender orchids are swaying in the wind by the shores of a tropical sea.
I can feel the warm breeze just looking at these flowers.

Purple Orchids

The base of this bead is made with black glass and various frits and enamels. I then put a strand of bright yellow swirling around it and encased it in a very thin layer of clear glass. A single purple orchid plant sits on the surface.
