How is it that this tut has been around for 3 years and I missed it? I have always wondered how you made those beautiful beads! I'll have to try it. Thanks!

Okay I was playing a bit, and totally forgot about pulling the points and covering them with clear so I ended up with cabbage roses instead of pine cones lol but it was fun and I learned a lot! Next time, I will follow the tut more closely (as in print it out and take it to the torch next time instead of winging it from memory!). Here is what I ended up with.

Those are so pretty Sonja! The pale pink ones are especially lovely, and the red ones are very striking. I hate working with red - it's so dark when molten that I can't see what's what!!

Aimee, in looking at the beads, do you use a lighter color on the petals and then a darker, smaller dot on top of each petal? I love the bubblegum pink beads. They remind me of Confederate roses.

Gosh, I wrote this tutorial SO long ago - I keep meaning to write an expanded, updated version...but life just keeps getting in the way!!
The first thing I want to say is there's no right or wrong - trying something slightly different is how you create new styles!! When I do these I usually have an opaque dot covered by a transparent dot. I often use white, but sometimes layering a transparent color over another color will give you a cool color gradient. And I've also done smaller layered dots, just the way Sonja did, for a nice multicolor effect.

Second attempt wherin I discover Slytherin spread thin doesn't look like leaves anymore, but like a shadow. I made the core half yellow and half clear green to push the look of it being a flower, and used white dots with red overlapping to make the petals. Next time I think I'll do a solid wrap of clear around the yellow to give it some space from the first row of petals.

That is beautiful. I'm new and love the written tutorials because I can read while I work. You are very generous to write the tut. I'm hoping to get better day by day. Trying my first flower today. Mastered the donut and other shapes. I couldn't find a class to take so as with everything else I'm teaching myself along with people like you sharing your work. Thank you very much for being generous. Any tips or guidance is welcome anytime
