Cool flowers

When I first got into bead making, the florals was my aim. I don't know how many hours I've praticed to achieve that smooth, even and bubble free encasing that gives the florals their depth. But it's many.

And I still love making them, though they're quite time consuming. But flower will be flowers and the variation possibilities in colour combos, pattern, shape, background and so on is endless. 

Here's a recent floral with a pale aqua coloured center, a hint of dicroic  and white and lime green flowers. 

Amethyst and caramel

One of my favourite colour combiantions is amethyst and brown. The combination works well in many kinds of beads - florals, graphic, dotted or sculptural. I also think it's an amazing colour set for autumn. Makes me think of falling leaves and the last flowers of the season.

Here's a pendant bead featuring these yummy colours:

It's put togheter with sterling silver parts and swarowski chrystals. Ready to hang on a necklase, thanks to the bail.
