| Rizos as Flower Petals |
Recently as I browsed my local bead shop, I discovered a new shape (well, it was new to me) called the rizo. It looks a little like a petal or a grain of rice with a hole at one end. Like all bead shapes, rizos come in a variety of finishes, colors and sizes. Three are shown in the links below. I particularly like the neon pink ones described in the third link as "rice droplets."

If you read the Chilly Hollow Stitch Guides blog, you've seen orange rizos used in the border of Palma's Halloween cracker.

Above is a photo of how I've used mine on some of the Imari Tiger's flowers. I attached them with the same yellow thread used in the flower centers but you could use turquoise colored thread instead.
Now let's go find more places to use these!
