Two New Floral Glass Lampwork Beads



Two new florals for the Fraser Valley Bead show.  The first one is a Sunflower on a base of Reichenbach Antique Green - a very expensive glass, with not much to show for itself.  I like it, but not at the price they are asking - it has what looks like minute bubbles and a sparkle of some sort inside.  Pretty, but I think I will just stick with a pale green Effetre glass next time.

The second flower I can't remember the name of - someone help me.  For some reason I keep wanting to call it an Echinacea flower?

Oh, I love your flowers! They look so authentic, you like to pick them! And Echinacea looks like your second one!

Yes, Echinacea is the correct name, but I think the "common" name for it is "purple coneflower". That's the name that I have a hard time remembering for some reason.
