Title: Flower press from beadpress?
Post by: Trudi on April 03, 2010, 11:11:26 PM
Hi

I was looking on Maria-Louisa's site and I noticed the flower press - has anyone got one of these, and can they show me a picture of a bead made with it? Tis difficult to tell how it will look like just from looking at the press.

Thanks

Trudi

Trudi,
I've just made a set yesterday with this press.
I'll try to post a picture tomorrow (hope I don't forget, my head's a mess at the moment) for you to see.

This was made with the flower press but with each petal slightly pulled.

Thank you Tan  :D
This press is very very easy to work with, no difficulties at all with learning how to use it.
