I took a class in lampworking that was to teach this floral technique. It makes very girly, feminine, frilly beads. I soon figured out that while the techniques were interesting (making a simple radially symmetrical cane and then using it to add details), I didn’t like the way the beads looked. Still, I thought I ought to practice, so I made these center ones, and then used the rest of the cane to practice my dots on the outer ones.
