More pip beads

Following on from the pip bead class I took, I was inspired to use the 3 rivolis (sparkly bit in the centre, doesn't have a hole) I'd bought for more pip bead jewellery.  I knew I had some blue pip beads at home, so that was where I started.

I have load of blue seed beads so it was pretty easy to match these beautiful pips with some dark blue delicas and seed beads.  This one isn't going to be a brooch.

Instead I added a jump ring to the back so I can make it into a necklace.

I then made these little flowers.  6 of the pip beads fit perfectly together in a circle to form a bloom and I added a little clear seed bead in the centre of each.  I think I'll make a couple more of them and use them to flank the main flower.  

I'm afraid this isn't the last you'll see of pip bead flowers, I used all three rivolis...
I'd also like to say that I've had the most hectic couple of weeks at work, including working into the evening, so I haven't been visiting many blogs and I don't think I've commented on any.  I hope to catch up at some point soon, so don't think I've abandoned you!

    Love those little pip bead flowers, how big are they - too big for earrings?

    I will be interested to see how the necklace turns out!

    We all understand about life getting in the way of other activities, so not to worry!

    Oh I thought too, that those little flowers would be lovely as earrings :D That blue is gorgeous!

    Don't worry about blog commenting (or visiting, even) - sometimes there just isn't enough time in the day to get everything internet done - just take care of YOU :)

    These are really sweet! I adore those smaller flowers and the style of the bigger one is really pretty.
