Blooming Creativity: Exploring Multicolored Flower Lampwork Beads
This was one of the first times I used multiple flower colors in the same bead, and I can't believe I waited so long to try it! The blend of vibrant flower colors creates a delightful spring vibe that truly uplifts the design. I attempted to add green vines and leaves, which, while not as defined as I hoped, add a subtle touch beneath the flowers, enhancing the overall composition. The bubbles atop each flower add an enchanting detail that captures the light beautifully.
