Your garden grows on Beading Daily

Florals are sprouting up on every runway this spring, according to all the fashionistas. From dainty flowery prints to bold blossoms, flower power is back in style on dresses, tops, and accessories. So what do you make to be in vogue this spring? 

Beading Daily members are clearly inspired by garden delights in their jewelry creations.  The member Gallery is abloom with garden-inspired works, including excellent work submitted to a flower challenge last year. Though we wish we could show them all, we've selected just a few pretty petal designs past and present to share here. Kudos to you all!

Surprise! Nice work. Being as May baby I love flowers, even with allergies. :-)

I'm a beginner beader, loving the seed bead patterns and peyote stitch. Those Plumeria are very pretty! I've been practicing and trying to figure out how to increase and decrease correctly to make something like that, so far I can only get the flat square pattern to come out looking decent. I've looked everywhere for patterns for that type of petal, and/or rounded.  Is there a trick someone can share with me?

I get an 'access denied' message when I try to download the free project.  I am logged in, any ideas?
