Seed Bead Adventures Round 3 - Spring Flowers

Note: Based on an original design and instructions ("Ring Around The Posies") by Lynn Hoffman, as featured in Beadwork Magazine (Apr/May 2006). This bracelet is not for sale until permission by the original artist is granted.

I didn't have the patience to make a necklace version of Autumn Flowers, and so created a Spring Flowers bracelet instead!

This time, in addition to the Japanese seed beads and Czech pressed glass flowers, I also put in some rose quartz beads to complement the dusky pink Swarovski pearls.

The photo doesn't do this piece justice -- the bracelet actually sparkles in the light.

Mamimoo ~ Hugs to you!! Thanks so much, sweetie :) It really isn't difficult to do, thanks to the clear instructions :)) It does take some time, though, and the beads are teeny tiny! HAHAHHA!

Chev ~ You're a DARLING!!! I owe you something and will drop you an e-mail about it :))

Alice ~ Thanks for thinking the bracelet is beautiful! Your compliment made my day :)) Neither Autumn Flowers nor Spring Flowers is on sale for now as I need to get permission from the original artist as these bracelets are based on her design and instructions. I'll definitely let you know if/when permission is granted :)
