A new style of bead - Flower balls.
Really simple and sweet, perfect for earrings.
Start by making a pair of small off mandrel leaves and set them aside on your marver. Now, wind a round bead on your mandrel (I made these two at a time on a mandrel). Now, spot heat the bead and press the applied leaf into position. Don't forget to romance the leaf into the flame or it will shatter. Finally, add a dot of glass for the blossom and press it with a nail setter. A nail setter? Yes a nail setter, you can get one at the hardware store.
I put a couple pairs up in my Belvedere etsy shop.
