Pearl Rose II, or Pearling and Purling

(click to enlarge, since I've done this in Blogger)

Those are 2-3 freshwater rice pearls. I suspect some of them are potato pearls (the rounder ones with the stripe in the middle)

And then bright check purl. I have a little leeway in getting the length right - if it's a tiny bit long, the end can go under the Grecian Twist.

It's actually quite boring (or should I say - Zen). Just sewing pearls, and cutting and sewing purl.

I'm looking forward to adding the silk sepals - that should really bring it out.

Have to do something about that centre.....and pity the petals aren't all the same size.
