    A lovely unique topic and beautiful craft work. It's amazing what the human mind can come up with while imitating nature which we are flat out destroying.

    These are so beautiful. I love beaded flowers, harder than it looks though. A video instruction would have probably helped me more than the book i used.
  • spa-products May 29, 2011 @ 11:37 am | delete
    I made a necklace once with spiral stitching, very time consuming, but worth it in the end. I sold it for 3 times what I paid for the beads. My next project will be a flower slider for a necklace. Thanks for the great lense !!!

    Incredible. I have never seen this before. Nice lens.

    I love your lens. I have added your lens to my 4th wedding anniversary gifts lens. As the traditional 4th anniversary gift is flowers, your lens will make a great addition. What a great idea thank you.

    Beaded flowers indeed look great. In India, women put beaded flowers chain/necklace to adorn the hair. They are beaded with a needle and thread.

    I'm making a beaded rose for my 11 yr old daughter's school stall. All proceeds from sales of beaded bracelets etc go towards helping underprivileged children. I'm so proud of her!

    Thank you Judy for your lovely comment. I just happened upon this Squidoo page tonight. What a great page! Thank you also SudokuNut..i love creating these flowers and enjoy teaching once in a while as well. It's a continuous excuse to shop for stray hanks or tubes of beads in unusual colors or beautiful little vases on eBay. And then you get to play!
    Thank you, again, SudokuNut!

    Very nice. I went to Boa's Botanicals from your link, and the way the colors of beads are used in the pieces is beautiful. Thank you for highlighting this craft.

  • Tipi Oct 22, 2008 @ 8:53 am | delete
    I must say as I get older my eye-sight isn't as good, and those delica beads are too small. I like to make my own beads and design jewelry. Is something I want to find more time for, Squidoo is so addicting. Oh, love the lens, *****. It stands-out!
  • rms Oct 22, 2008 @ 5:45 am | delete
