Beaded Flora: Angel
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2007/03/angel.html
Saturday, March 31, 2007. This angel is made of teal half-bugle beads. The pattern is from Flower Beading French Technique Book 2 by Bobbe Anderson. I used a small Styrofoam ball for the head instead of a wooden bead as is suggested in the pattern. This is a really nice, simple project. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to Beaded Flora. Due to time constraints, I am no longer able to bead and this blog will not be updated for the time being. Thank you for viewing. My other blog is.

Beaded Flora: Rose and Cymbidium
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2006/04/rose-and-cymbidium.html
Sunday, April 23, 2006. Here are a rose and cymbidium orchid from the Dutch book Beadflowers by Annette van Sevenhoven and Leane de Graff. The patterns in this book are very lovely. The flowers, however, aren't made like French beaded flowers, they're made using loops, which then have a strand of beads run through them to connect them or they are made using the Victorian technique (with a border). I find that this m. To see more lovely flowers (and trees) made in this style, please see Ellie's photo album.

Beaded Flora: Poppy
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2006/01/poppy.html
Sunday, January 29, 2006. Here is my first finished flower, made using instructions from The Art of French Beaded Flowers: Creative Techniques for Making 30 Beautiful Blooms. What I love about this book is that in each project (there are 21), there is a new special technique, such as ruffling, outlining, reverse basic and many others. All of the flowers in this book look unique, not just because of the colors used or the number of. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to Beaded Flora.

Beaded Flora: Peyote Butterfly
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2006/10/peyote-butterfly.html
Tuesday, October 10, 2006. The pattern for this butterfly was designed by Karole Conaway and is from her website: The Glass Butterfly, Etc. Which a very nice site featuring many impressive beaded butterflies and other pretty jewelry items. The project was done in flat peyote stitch with size 11 Toho treasure beads. For increasing and decreasing on the edges, I referenced the beadwork. Section from about.com. This is the Christmas butterfly from the free pattern section. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Beaded Flora: Sea Holly
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2007/01/sea-holly_08.html
Monday, January 08, 2007. The pattern for this Sea Holly is from Flower Beading French Technique Book 4 by Bobbe Anderson. I found it interesting to make some of the petals out of loops. The first two layers of petals are not continuous loops, but rather they are built on the "stem" that is created when the first loop is twisted closed. Just stoppin by to say hello! Your French -beaded flowers are beautiful! January 15, 2007 5:38 PM. Hi, your works are beautiful, warm greetings, Wanda. In A Minute Ago.

Beaded Flora: Azalea
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2006/09/azalea.html
Saturday, September 16, 2006. I tried to ruffle the petals by bending, but it really looks more like a large rose or hibiscus than an azalea. I think. This size difference was due to the fact that I used larger beads. Overall, though, I do think that the flower turned out well and I really enjoyed making this flower. The alternating technique would probably be a great way make strawberry leaves look more realistic. April 02, 2008 7:25 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to Beaded Flora.

Beaded Flora: Grapes
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2007/01/grapes.html
Sunday, January 07, 2007. This grape vine is from the Japanese book Crystal Beads Flowers. This book can be bought from Amazon.co.jp. Or from eBay, which is where I bought it from. The arrangements in this book are very beautiful and presented differently than those in American books. The patterns are black and white and in Japanese. Each pattern also has several black and white pictures which help explain the creation process. The scallop-edged leaves are sooo beautiful! And you have done them so neatly!

Beaded Flora: Stocking Orchid
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2007/03/stocking-orchid.html
Saturday, March 31, 2007. A little pink orchid from my imagination =) The petals are all made by making a wire loop and then covering the loop with pink stocking. The middle petal uses a coil loop before covering. The three outer petals are outlined with pink glitter glue, while the two middle petals are highlighted with white glitter glue. Stocking flowers are very easy to make and can be lovely fillers in a beaded flower bouquet. And thanks for the link. The flowers are so wonderful as well!

Beaded Flora: Original Flower
http://beadedflora.blogspot.com/2006/02/original-flower.html
Friday, February 24, 2006. This little flower is an o. Riginal design. It went very quick and easy, since I used. Wraparound loops for the flower. The leaves were experimental. The sepals are just tubular netting. I made this in about a day (well, two actually, but that's because I can only bead in the evenings), and I didn't really feel like doing anything fancy with the stem. I hope you enjoy my work =).
