Re: OT-ART: Beadwork iris craft


I see messages of gardeners getting ready for Spring blooms.  It's 
Off season for blooms, in my part of the World.  Crafting is the next 
thing to do.  I started to make the 'Seed Bead Iris' yesterday.  It's 
going to take awhile to make.  Notice that it is made from SEED 
beads.  Want to guess how small these beads are.  TINY.  I went with 
6mm beads to get a larger bloom. It takes 240 purple and 36 yellow 
beads to complete a bloom.  If you use the seed beads you will get a 
miniture bloom, about 2 inches tall.  The 6mm beads, I believe will 
be closer to the actual bloom size.  They make 8mm beads, so you can 
go bigger if you like.  Or for the sake of your eye site.
