Sun-Printed project continued
I found the center of that Dogwood blossom to be very interesting, it is a fabulously textured sphere
So, I wanted to create something interesting at the center of my sun-printed blossoms, "flat" was simply not going to do! I began with a small bead which was placed in a circle of wool that I gathered up tightly around it to form a sphere I could stitch on, then, one by one stitched small beads to the wool.
I made a few different sizes to co-ordinate with the various sizes of blossoms, for the smallest ones I just stitched small, layered, clusters of beads

Loving how the dogwood is turning out.
PS.I used similar idea to make brambles (blackberries?) for an autumn fairy doll last year
Oooh -- these are so cool! I love the dimensional thing you have going on with the quilting and the beads!
The piece looks fabulous and the centers really add a nice effect to it.
I love the bead centers, such a rich dark green color! Good way to get them spherical, around a wood bead, You can just try to felt a wool bead too.
Great 3D additions.
