On Sunday, I started beading “Fairy Flora.” Oh. My. God. There are so many beads! I have been beading for 11 hours and I am not even finished with the wings.
So anyway, remember how I decided to order the beads instead of sorting through the pack that came with the kit?
Good idea… in theory.
I ordered the beads, but silly me, I didn’t realize I needed more than one package of the crystal beads. (Note to self: Check chart next time to see how many packs of beads are called for.) I was merrily beading away, a little over half finished with the first wing, and boom! I ran out of the crystal beads. As a result, I ended up sorting the bead package that came with the kit anyway. Sorting the beads actually didn’t turn out to be as bad as I thought because the crystal beads were easy to pick out and the mauve and lavender weren’t as similar as I was afraid they were going to be.
I can’t believe how sparkly the beads are making the wings. I tried and tried to get a picture that 1.) shows the beads and 2.) does the sparkle justice, but I am not sure I succeeded. Hopefully you get an idea though.
Once again, every time Flo gets closer to being finished I am blown away by how gorgeous she is. Take my word for it. Even in her not-quite-finished state she is simply stunning.
