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.
