Meet Flora Dora, off on yet another shopping expedition. With hair quaffed and shoes polished, she's wearing a new hat and dress and sports the latest style in classy handbags. Her hands and legs are moveable and she thinks she looks pretty hot. I'm going to hate to tell her she's just a brooch :)
I loved the 'Iris' coloring on the 10mm black beads Tania including in my parcel. They were my inspiration for the rest of the components I used in this pendant and beaded 'chain'. Porcelain flowers and lots of Czech beads. Wish I could capture of the AB finishes better for you, mostly Jet AB and Vitrail.
So both fun pieces to make and wear, thank you so much
Lori and
Tania for the opportunity
These are the beads I sent to Tania and the pieces she made with them
