I was inspired by Swedish spring and tried to incorporate two of the most common spring flowers – bluebells and liverwort. I’ve put some small birch leaves on the vines around the 3D RAW “branches” (called “musöron”, “mouse ears” in Swedish). And the huge Swarovski Fancy Oval is just representing the quintessence of Spring as I see it. This is the time when the nature awakes from the winter hibernation. That is why I called it “Spring Rhapsody”.
I used the following materials:
Toho Seed Beads – TBRD11-2C, TBRD11-4, TBRD11-13, TBRD11-1300
Swarovski – 4127-CSL39, 5328-CRYSAB3
PowerPro – BF28WH06
Silver-plated copper wire, 1mm
Fire-polished beads, 4mm
