I am really really enjoying making these beads at the moment and I am having a fair few ideas about them but I am failing miserably to think of a name for them. They kinds look like flowers to me but just not sure so I have decided as I have not posted a challenge for this months prize draw I will make the winner one of these beads in their chosen colours.
How do you win........simples.......leave a comment at the end of this post and on Sunday evening I will pick the one I like most and he or she can have one of my beadies!!!
So what are you waiting for get your thinking hats on and name my beads ;o)
thank you
TTFN xx
They remind me of Chrysanthemums :) So if you can actually pronounce it, unlike me, that might be an idea?

Peony. Beautiful big flowers, gentler than a rose. I have one that grows in the garden, it flowers in June. http://www.flyingflowers.co.uk/about-flowers/Flowers/FF_About_Peony,default,pg.html

They look like roses. How about 'blue rose' or 'grey rose' for the name of the beads. They're lovely.
ReplyDeletePetals or .......mermaids - as they look like they are made from mermaid scales.
ReplyDeleteWe call them "fish scale-beads" in German.
ReplyDeleteI suggest morifolium - they look like the chrysanthemum buds used to make a tisane.

Well I really think they are beautiful, I love mermaid scales thats sounds so fairy tale and I really think they look just like a peony but I'm afraid I cant think of any other name, so I am drawing a blank at the moment. I have my thinking cap on!!!!! Off to ponder! 80)
ReplyDeleteWhat about 'darling buds' as they look like the buds from flowers and for some reason darling buds of may came into my head lol or I guess just 'bud beads'

They are gorgeous Sam!
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of 'Globe Artichokes' - not a very inspiring name but a beautiful vegetable.
They also remind me of 'Damask Roses' - now they are beautiful.

Lovely design Sam.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of Echeveria derenbergii, I didn't know the name til just now and have always called them 'Desert Rose'. Couldn't help thinking of them every time I heard the Sting song lol.
The pattern also makes me think of the amazing Rosette Nebula.
I can see why you are having a hard time choosing a name for them now.

I think Fluff is spot on with Lotus! 'Lotus beads' has a great ring to it :) and I can say that :p

Lotus was the first thing I thought when I saw them so I agree with all the others!
ReplyDeleteAlternatively and much less glam...they also reming me of globe artichokes. The layers upon layers of leaves or petals are very similar.
lovely beads, hon.. and I have to agree with Lotus :) xox
ReplyDeleteHiya Sweets, I think they should be called petals - Aquamarine Petals, Peppermint Petals etc
ReplyDeleteTo me they look like water lilies, I can see them floating on the top of the pond :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for being behind...I just wanted to comment on how PRETTY these beads are! Kudos, Sam!
