For our first project, I'd like to put together a tutorial about the materials used for french-beaded flowers. Everyone uses slightly different techniques, materials, and tools, and I'd like to incorporate everyone's ideas!

I do both french and venetian versions. I've been doing them for about five years. Good thing to get commisions. It is a tough business to make money at. I have some french beaded flower centers in necklaces which I have not yet gotten images of for my site. If you need images let me know. I even have some bead counts and such for original designs to contribute if this takes off. this is a rennaisance era folk art form as a history note.
