Latest Beaded Wedding Bouquet

This is the arrangement I came up with after making beaded flowers for a customer to add to her wedding bouquet. In the end she used all of my beaded flowers and some other crystals and things. It was an amazing arrangement, and I'll post a blog about that another time.

I've used almost all the same flowers and stems I made for her arrangement, and there are nearly 60 stems all up in this arrangement. I've used tulle in the arrangement, for the collar, and for the handle. I've then done a clever wrapping technique with satin ribbon around the handle.

Beaded Flower Bouquet

I've finished a beaded bouquet that has three roses in different stages of development, a bud, a medium rose, and a fully opened rose. There are small beaded flowers around it, and there's a red ribbon to finish off. The roses are all done in a lovely pink shade, and each one has a set of calyx leaves, and a few larger leaves on the stem. Each stem is wrapped in floral tape.

Free Cross stitch patterns

I've discovered a wonderful site for free cross stitch patterns.

CROSS STITCHERS CLUB

These patterns could also be used for bead work. The smaller ones, or parts of the larger ones would be great for square stitch and loom work.

There are some amazing patterns.

Flower Website

blue fascinator



I have a new website that I've created to list all the flowers I make, and also to list everything to do with hair accessories.

The new site is called Flower Cove, and it is a Weebly site instead of Freewebs, I may also eventually move all of Craft Cove over to Weebly as well. With Weebly I can use as many pages as I want, but with Freewebs I only have a limited number.

Flower Cove has hair flowers, hair fascinators, hair vines, and other hair accessories, as well as French beading , Victorian beading , and other types of beaded flower stems, bouquets, etc. Not everything in Flower Cove is beaded. I have all sorts of fabric and ribbon flowers as well as paper flowers and quilling. For those who don't know what quilling is, quilling is the art of creating items with paper, most commonly very thin strips are curled into shapes, then glued into designs. Of the fabric flowers, there are folded flowers, flame singed flowers, rolled flowers, and many more. These are then made into hair accessories or other things.
