The photos show the front and back of the same bead - this time I tried rainbow colours and it was a very interesting exercise. The bead has been gifted to my sister for Christmas and I think she liked it.
Ever since I purchased the "Blooming Beads" tutorial from Carol Dean Sharpe at Sand Fiber's etsy shop, I have been making beads. They are truly lovely and easy to make, although the large one takes a long time and many, many tiny little beads. Thanks Carol Dean for a terrific tute.
Just in case you are wondering, had to cancel out of the Night Market. Unavoidable circumstances meant we just couldn't get our act together in time. Maybe next time. Hope everyone who went along had a great time.
