Rediscovered - seed beads


Seed beads have been with me since I was a little girl. You grow up and forget about them. Suddenly you want them again, for a collage work or enticing bead embroidery and lastly for jewellery. Making pieces in the French beaded flower technique is something wonderful to learn, but translating this to jewellery is quite challenging.
Today I will show you just one of the pieces I just made - others will follow because the muse bit me!

    I have lots of seed beads sitting in a drawer. I had a go at bead weaving some years ago. These flowers are lovely, think I will have to get a book out of the library and give it a go
