Working on Lehua's haku lei

Lehua's haku lei in progress

I'm using size 15/0 Japanese seed beads for the miniature ferns and ohelo leaves, Czech true cut 15/0s for the miniature lehua blossoms.
These things a tiny!

Laurie, thank you so much for teaching me how to make the double St, Petersburg chain! :-) Without your help, I'd be still fighting with these tiny ferns! ;-)

I love working with 15's, once you get use to the size, I think the holes are much more visible than 11's. Your designs just blow me away Saby. Can hardly wait to see this finished.

Thank you, Illaya! :-)
If you want to go blind, try working with Czech 15/0s and true cut 15/0s! Those are so pretty, but they are much smaller than the Japanese ones and rather uneven.
Hugs,
Saby
