I used the bellflower press and some clear boro glass and bent each petal ridge out to give the impression of an open flower. After making the clear ones, I was thinking about just a hint of pink with clear around the edge, but I was a litle bit heavy handed on the pink compared to what I had planned - still it came out fairly nicely anyway!
I love the clarity of the clear boro on this, but felt like the sparkliness was a bit over the top with the swarovski crystals, Czech crystal balls and Miyuki clear ab cubes...... bit jarring to the eyeballs, but would be nice for a formal evening when something blingy is the thing you want!
I am thinking of making some sets of the flowers to list in my Etsy....hhmmmmm, but the laziness may kick in first!
I had a dream last night about a macaw murrini....... I am feeling very like making some murrini right now - I will post up some results in the next few days!
Beautiful Nat - it almost reminds me of ice. I l♥ve it.
