I have been playing with the rose design. This rose is about 1 and 1/4 inches wide and about 1/2 inch tall. I really like the dimension that this new style has. It appears to have petal upon petal and looks like a very full and healthy rose.
I like the ivory one best also. I had to keep playing with the rose design trying to make it as authentic as possible. Well, the pink rose is heavier and it ends up on the bottom of the bracelet. : )
I have been making jewelry for years. When I first started I did mainly stringing. In May of 2005, a friend taught me how to do peyote stitch. Since then, I have been learning different stitches so that I can make more complex woven jewelry. To date I have learned peyote, right angle weave, Ogalala, herringbone, brick, and the ladder stitch. I want to learn different African beadwork stitches. My goal is to become an "All Nebraska Artist" at the NE State Fair. To do this I have to have the Best of Division award two years (in a five year span) in either Jewelry or Beading. I have received it once in both categories.

I love these roses you are doing. Cindy
Thanks, Cindy. I have been trying to come up with some good ideas for wedding jewelry.
I have some 2mm round Swarovski that I want to try it with. Can you imagine that?
Mary must be the lacy side of me coming out but I like the ivory one best.
