Status Updates From The Beaded Bracelet: Beadwe...

I'm still not marking this as finished till I at least finish the flower. Yet I'm upgrading to 5 stars because it took only 2 days to get an answer about the confusion over step 12. Couldn't find direct contact for Carole. Emailed Interweave, her current publisher. They responded asking for clarification. Then today, I get email from Carole herself. Marvelous! Answer: gather the first 5 *point* beads!

I've read through all the project pages. Usually I file for later use but never get around to making anything. This time, I decided to try and make the flower embellishment for one bracelet. Does double duty as clasp.

Problem is lack of a diagram for steps 11-12. Crucial omission as it gathers the work into a flower form. Not as intuitive as the author thought.
