More beady things!

African Violet

Yes, I've been busy! I've actually had the parts for this African Violet sitting around my house. I had made them one day while I was teaching a class at Bead Obsessions. That would be at least 2 years ago. When it came time to assemble, I ended up making new leaves and let myself have the creative freedom to not follow a pattern but just go and came up with this.

This became a birthday present for my friend Nina because her cats eat all of her real plants so she can't keep any at home. Well, now she can have a plant at home.

Re-potting an orchid: A pictoral

A couple of weeks ago, I showed you this poor orchid:
Need to repot the Dancing Lady

It needed to be re-proportioned and a smaller cointainer.

Re-potting a plant in the beaded world is a little different than re-potting in the real world!

Repotting Needed

Some point soon, this baby will be repotted. It doesn't have enough support and getting a bit dusty. It will hopefully be looking better soon. I've been repotting (real) African Violets and orchids this weekk.
