Louise really likes the flower pins that have become so popular and wanted to create her own version. A few years ago she saw some interesting dimensional leaves that some of Carol Horn's students were making and experimented with the pattern herself. Then she read Barbara L. Grainger's book "Dimensional Flowers, Leaves & Vines", and saw how cleverly beaded petals could be joined to make lovely flowers. Using the Horn-inspired leaves, "petals" here, Louise created this flower of her own.
