Hi, Arlene. I do have a Yahoo group called beadcoach, where we post pix and compare notes. I mostly answer the questions asked, because they are usually addressed to me, about techniques. But my ladies have taken off, all the Flowers different and lovely. I am VERY pleased with their work, and yearn to see more, hint, hint.
It's not easy to make this kind of flower, because there are many steps and layers, and because it takes considerable heat control and glass manipulation, it is reccomended for advanced lampworkers. It doesn't hurt to be passionate about floral botany either, as I am.
Thanks, ♥ Love, Helen
