I expected a smooth bead. What I got was a rough bead, not very pretty to look at, the scent was very mild. They stayed as beads, didn't fall apart, but was not anything that i would ever wear, they were very dark and dull-i followed the directions, i don't think i did anything wrong, i just think that this is one of those old crafts that were what was available at the time. Maybe, if the rose petals could be ground to the consistency of flour they would come out better. But as cut roses die off, the petals get almost black. That is the resulting color of the bead-it does not or did not for me, keep the color of the rose- maybe alum could be added? If anyone tries this, please post your results. I'd love to know if someone was able to get these to come out better than mine. cin > This is so interesting. > > Do you know if it is possible to replace the rose petals by other > herbs (I was thinking of aromatic herbs like rosemary or basilicum, > etc...). > > Bella > from Tel Aviv > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
