Beaded Flower Newsletter 12/10/15

I usually wait a day or two to post my newsletter here after sending it via the mailing list. That's so subscribers have first chance at any sale items or special offerings. This is one of the newsletters I missed. New Patterns! I'm introducing a new technique with a pattern for a leaf and a flower. This technique is found on vintage beaded flowers and on beaded flowers made in China. I call it the frame technique because you first form the shape, i.e. frame, of the leaf or petal with 22-gauge wire. Bead rows are strung horizontally with each row on a separate 26-gauge wire. Detailed instructions including templates for 4 leaves and the flower and bead counts are included for the leaf and flower above.

I scrolled through all the home decor designs to find the beaded flowers for you. So here they are!
