Anything Goes: Life Hurts Today: "I'm working on a new beading project which I'm calling, 'Russian Sunflower.' Its Russian leaves and then I'll either bead a cabochon, which is highly polished, convex cut, unfaceted gem (so sayeth Mr. Webster) or I'll figure out a centerpiece similar to the one I used in the photo below. The brooch below is made with Czech beads so the leaves are bigger. The one I'm making now, I'm making with Delicas so the leaves are considerably smaller. There will be 12 leaves and then the centerpiece. This brooch includes a beaded bead as the centerpiece.
I don't know if you can tell or not, but the dark beads are a deep cranberry and the green beads are lined with fuschia. Its really beautiful in person, if I do say so myself. "
The original piece is very pretty (okay, I'm always a sucker for green!) and the new one sounds very interesting too - I look forward to seeing a photo.
Keep smiling
