Experimental Flowers


Here are a couple of more flowers I've made recently but haven't had a chance to post. The first is a purple poppy like flower; I was trying to figure out what would the size diffence in petals be if I used 15/o, 11/o, and 10/o beads for the same pattern. I also tried making the leaves with a reverse basic wire on the bottom so the wire can't be seen in the finished flower.

The next flowers are my attempts at some West Virgina wildflowers: fire pink and phlox. These were both made with Victorian technique. It seems to be better for very small, detailed flowers.
