I got 3rd place in the ameteur division so it must have been my lucky charm, it has also been in Bead Dreams 2006 as a finalist, travelled to Japan and is one of the pieces that I entered into Bead International.<BR/><BR/>I made the flowers using crystal rivolis or cabochons for the centers. The lattice is made with a chevron stitch and seed beads. The edging of the lattice and the straps for the shoulders are a Flat double spiral with seed beads and 3 mm crystals parts of it are embellished with flowers and leaves.<BR/><BR/>As usual my favorite source of inspiration is nature. I learned to bezel around cabochons and rivolis from Laura McCabe and have altered her technique a little to come up with my own way and after I did my first rivoli I thought it looked like a cool center for a flower thus a piece full of flowers trying a variety of techniques to create petals.<BR/><BR/>Hope that answered your questions, AngieAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962319168316028443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-244513971439509431.post-59133583226500991802007-09-18T23:48:00.000-04:002007-09-18T23:48:00.000-04:00Congratulations again.
