After starting a range of my 'Fuzzy Florals' needle felted flowers, I felt that a brush-up on my beading skills would help to give the flowers an extra sparkle using bead work that would be just the delicate enhancement that they needed.
I attended a local beading group at Arts Central, lead by self-confessed bead addict, Sylvia Fairhurst.
There were a huge variety of beading projects in progress, some following very detailed patterns and needing much concentration. I learnt that it's much easier to have one's beads arranged by colour - quite a contrast to my multicolour bead box!

Taking one of my 'fuzzy florals', I used ivory beads in the centre followed by pink beading to emphasise the creases of the petals.
