I think it's done!

Image

What do you think? I think it'd better be done 'cause I had enough of working on this thing! ;-)

I want to say a big *Thank You* to Barbara Grainger for writing one of my favorite beading books: 'Dimensional Flowers, Leaves & Vines'.
It's always the first book I'm referring to every time I'm playing around with leaves and flowers and it's from this book that I learnt the technique for the leaves and petals I used in this necklace.

I also want to say *Merci Beaucoup*to  Frany for asking me to make a flowers swap with her.
It's because of this swap that I pushed myself to figure out how to make these flowers (I made an orange/yellow set for her) and a way to mount them on a necklace that 'd be different from hers in style.
Frany uses a wire inside of her ropes and attaches the flowers at the end of the ropes. I wanted my flowers to stay up, but without using any wire.
Now that this one is done, I can play with the beautiful flowers that she made for me and see what I can do with them.
Oh yes, I also need to finish the 'Lentils & Donuts' necklace, so I guess I'm going to be busy beading for a while. ;-)

Hi Mary,

Thank you so much for your kind words! :-)

I'm beading, I'm beading...I just had a new idea for one of the flowers I got from the swap with Frany, so I have to see if I can make it work. ;-)

Cheers,
Saby

Haha I better keep beading if I want to substitute all the yard plants with beaded ones! Sounds cool though...' I got me a hell of a beaded garden'! LOL
