Just a couple of florals which I may have posted before, hope that's ok.

So many gorgeous beads! That pillow press is a great shape, that's a lovely set.

And I like the lotus beads a lot, did you learn to make them from a tutorial Kalorlo?

I'm not very good at flowers, I struggle to get the petals even

I know, ppp...

Rachel B · August 16, 2010, 02:30:53 PM

These are some old ones from me, fire blossoms

Trudi · August 16, 2010, 02:50:59 PM

these were a little while ago, but still flowers

Hope it is ok if they are in bracelet form. Made this for one of my daughters best friends birthday. I don't usually do florals, but was quite happy with these.

Those florals are very striking indeed.

Right - I'm now the proud owner of glass shears (scissors) so I had a go at cutting

i am so glad this is a random generator challenge and not a pick your favourite one

heres my entry

Here's all my lotuses gathered together. The smaller ones are harder to keep tidy. I'd been planning to try more but I've been out of gas for the last week.

Lush! · August 31, 2010, 02:20:09 PM

Screeching in at the last minute ... I'm in awe of all the encased floral beads, I can't make those for toffee, so I'll add these instead

running in here right at the end as well with these, they were made a few months ago so hope they still count!

and

MadelineBunyan · August 31, 2010, 05:20:53 PM

me three!

These are more flower power than just the floral theme I loosely interpreted with my rose murrini!
photos not as good as I'd hoped though.

I came in here to see who had won and find out what Septembers challenge was going to be.
I did make a "flower" bead, but being the strange kind of person I am I decided to make an alien flower and it didn't work out very well so at that time I decided not to post a picture of it.
But seeing as the deadline is extended I'm afraid I am going to inflict you all with it now. This one is definitely a keeper, as no one would want to part with their hard earned for it.
