I'm back with a new craft.

Sorry that I haven't been blogging for a while  but I have been working on a new craft.

 At least it is new to me, and I couldn't get it right. I am still working on the beading part.

They are little beaded trees.

 Cool! it isn't hard but the best people to learn from are Russian,

 and I couldn't make out what they were saying.

So, after many attempts with the wire and bead size, I have come to this conclusion.

I still am experimenting but here is what I know.

Isn't it lovely!

My tree isn't completed yet, but here are some ideas.

In this picture, they are using a 24 or 26 wire with 10/0 or 11/0 bead. 

The difference in the trees would be the technique, which since you will have the same 

outcome the technique is purely up to you. You can find all of the techniques on Youtube, it took me 

some time to get the technique that was right for me.

I am sending you the link

Again it is in a dialect of Russian, you won't be able to understand her but I do like the technique.

Here is some inspirations!

I hope that you are inspired!

Check these and other trees, I think that you will want to make one!
