Back Cover Information

Craft exquisite floral reproductions that will dazzle you with their graceful forms. This re-vitalized Victorian craft involves stringing beads on wire and sculpting them into shape by bending and molding them with your fingers. Some of the projects are faithful facsimiles of their living counterparts; others are wild and gaily colored fantasies. Every French beaded flower is a work of art that's easy to make.

 

 

 

From the Author

One of the most frequent reactions from people who first see a bouquet of beaded flowers is, "Oh, I could never do that." Not true! Making French beaded flowers is an art that anyone can practice. It requires little investment in tools and materials, and no special skills. By following the directions in this book, you will soon be making beautiful beaded flowers that will satisfy your creativity, decorate your home and utterly delight all the lucky people who receive them as gifts.

May you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed putting it together and may you, too, share with others the love of this beautiful craft.
