About this design:
I finally found on a website how to make a flower pendant and it's so simple, I should have thought about it!! For those of you interested; go to beadbuddies.net and search for "Flower Cat's Eye Charm". This pattern is for beads drilled top to bottom. P.S.: this is not my design... :)

Gemme Designs says:You are so nice, but the wire still bugs me. I haven’t put it up for sale yet because of that. I find it looks too much like I struggled with it (and I did!):)
