This should, have another layer of leaves but it was the last one I made and was worn out! It is a really small bead so it doesn't matter - these are my practice ones!
I was rather proud of the cane I made for the leaves though!
These are not my Christmas Bon Bon beads - these are my practice ones.
These should all technically have two layers of leaves but I messed up my leaf canes and didn't have enough.
This doesn't look this bright in real life - this photo makes it look like slices of bacon and salami.
These look so much better in real life - not so shiny and bright.
They have been baked, treated with burnt sienna paint to dull them down and to give definition, rubbed and buffed, and finished with Renaissance Wax to protect them and then buffed until they shine! But none of it you can see in the photos. Hey ho!

They look pretty good to me, Lottie, well done
They are lovely and festive Lottie! Each one you make will be special because you are finding your joy while creating them.
They look a bit like those ultra modern poinsettias that where in the garden centre on saturday.
I prefer the beads -:)
These would look lovely in combination with some 'crackle' beads me thinks. xxx
So pretty!! There are so many uses for these.

Hi Lottie,
Ohhhhh what beautiful beads you have made, I really can't imagine how long they would have taken to do. There must be so many individual piece to create and then to put them all together. They are absolutely gorgeous. You certainly have patience and an eye for detail to attempt these.
You are such a star.
Lots of love
Su
