The Best Beads Shop is back with another fabulous Czech beads giveaway! They are based in Prague in the Czech Republic and specialize in traditional and genuine Czech beads. Czech beads are fabulous for jewelry making because they come in a huge variety of sizes, colors and shapes. Whether you are into bead weaving, stringing, wire work etc, there are bound to be beads just for you!
The Best Beads Shop stocks many different kinds including some of these wonderful flower bead examples.
Absolutely delicious!
Ekaterina Pushkareva, who owns the business, sent me these lovely examples below. The challenge is to make something from some these flower beads! I enjoy gardening and love seeing flowers growing so it was no hardship!
I've done different "flowers in a vase" designs before. But this time, I decided to modify the tree of life idea. The easy wire work tutorial for the basic round frame flowers in a vase pendant is here.
The pendants do not have to be round either. The design below came about when I took advantage of the way the wire lengths were curving.
