Technique Tuesday!
The exact bead counts will depend upon whether you decide to use Delica beads or the rounder Czech seed beads. Both are size 11/0s, but the difference in shape means that you’ll be able to fit 16 base row beads (and therefore 16 full sized petals) if you use Delicas. If you chose to use Czech see beads, you’ll only be able to fit 14 around the circumference of the 8mm bead center.

Beautiful!!
Cyndi, These are sooooooooooo pretty. I just look. I don’t attempt because I’d have a big beaded mess. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Hi Cyndi I have tried your beaded flowers. I am quite pleased with it. I think like everything it needs a bit of tweeking here and there. Thankyou for this great tutorial.
dear Cyndi
i have been contemplating about french beaded flowers for such a long time,always felt intimidated by the complexity…or so i thought.i’m not very good with needles…a lot into wire.but your instructions are so clear.you are so generous sharing your expertise…promise i will give it a try….and show you …if anything worthwhile comes out.
thanks again
