You probably will also enjoy Sundance Design's tutorial on making flowers from silk ribbon, beads and sequins. Maybe I'll use their ideas later. After all, I still have the small orange flowers on either side of Belleza's earrings to stitch.

| Purple Flower Finished! |
Ok, the suspense is over. Here is Belleza's purple flower, done in woven picots with purple bicone crystals. Now for the orange flowers. For that I'm going to teach myself needle felting.

Perfect creepy Halloween flower to go with those adorable owls. Great job, Jane!
Thanks, Peggi. I'm glad you like the slightly creepy tendrils!
Absolutely fabulous! Anne is cheering wildly from the stands!
I love the flower! It looks fantastic. I'm not really into skulls, but the way you're stitching this canvas may convert me. ;-)
Thanks, Monica. It is a great compliment that I am tempting you to stitch something you ordinarily wouldn't consider for a second.
Thanks for the applause, Anne. Those woven picots were hard since I used two threads for the legs instead of one, but they turned out almost exactly the way I want so I'm happy.
Long suspense but worth every moment. Great techniques. Sending Hugs to you.
Hugs back, Robin! You'd been quiet, too. Can't wait to see what's taken you away from blogging!
