38. Another beaded flower

Yesterday I made another beaded flower, but this time a quite different one. The inner circle is from birch bark I found on one of our hikes. Actually I wanted to make earrings in a completely different design, but while I was trying some beads and designs I suddenly had the idea for this one.
I dont't really know if I really like it or not. I like the idea and the fact that you can turn it around and it looks completely different. But somehow it is irregular and I don't really know how I can use it (as a pendant, or for a bracelet. or a brooch, or as christmas tree decoration?). Maybe I will do it again with a smaller piece of bark... (Hello again perfectionism... ;) ).

8. Beaded Flower

Today I gathered my beads around me and created a beaded flower as a brooch for my new hat (can't wait to wear it =) ).

Besides, I learned two more origami flowers:

I like the white one very much. It looks  a bit like a karambola (star fruit). Again I was impressed what one can do out of one piece of paper. And especially that I can do it too ;) Even when I'm stuck at one of the last steps and the instruction says: ...now do this and that and with a plopp everything will fall into the right place - ehmm.. yes... But in the end somehow it works (well, at least if we forget about the rose I tried yesterday ;) ).
