Beaded Poinsettia

Description

Well this is the first time I have decided to work with wire. Not sure I enjoy it. I did get a small gauge wire and so that helped with the flexiblity but it is still far different from beading thread.

-10/0 size seed beads- silver lined red and green
-some plastic iridescent beads.... I don't have the package and can't tell you much more than that about them.
-Beading wire- 28 gauge
-Beading thread
-Iridescent glass icicle ornament

I didn't have any pattern- I never work from a pattern. But I think I would like to look for some flower patterns to get some ideas and to be able to fully get the whole beaded flower idea down. I would like to figure out the full petal and a way to work with the wire correctly. The craft store was at today didn't have beaded flower books so... off to look online for something.

Not bad for a little something. I have 5 more of these ornaments and I think I will be making these for Christmas gifts this year. I don't think I will make them for the Craft show this weekend. Well I could- who knows...

I really love the poinsettia part, this design would make beautiful napkin rings, broaches, decorated barrettes etc.
