Liz Fairy Garden Ring

Bead Unique magazine (Spring 2011, Issue #28) featured an adorable project called The Fairy's Garden by the Design Staff at The Hole Bead Shoppe. I was smitten. As soon as I could track down some tiny Lucite flowers, I got started. Do you know, though, how once in a while a certain price will stop you in your tracks? The 30 cent teeny flowers did it for me. At the same time, I was helping my daughters create polymer beads for their Imagination Inventor's Fair and decided that I'd give some detail-work a try of my own. The flowers on this ring were my first effort and they turned out beautifully. They have spawned a number of other projects, as well. You may see them here later, in fact.
