Sequin Flowers

I have been asked to share how I did the sequin flowers. This design came from an Aussie Magazine "Embroidery, Beading and Cross stitch" Vol 12 no7. I apologise for the quality of some of the pics, still trying to work out that little flower closeup function!
Here is the first pic. You need those cupped sequins, and beads. The two black beads are the centre of the flower, so bring your needle up where you would like the centre of you flower to be. Thread on the needle in this order - 2 beads, sequin cupped toward eye of needle, sequin cupped toward point of needle, 1 bead, sequin cupped toward eye of needle, sequin cupped toward point of needle. It is important to get the direction right to get the dimensional effect.
Pic 2. I push everything toward the fabric so it is pushed together fairly snug. Take needle back down thru fabric.
Pic 3. I then do the opposite petal. I have left a small gap, enough to put a contrasting bead for the flower centre.
Thread the beads and sequins in the same order. Repeat steps until you have 6 petals. Below is the completed flower. I will put a wee pearl in the centre of this one.
You could probably experiment with the flat sequins, and put a bead between each sequin to give it the dimension. You can't tell by the pic, but I have used darker sequins on the bottom 2 and lighter for the top two.

I hope I haven't done wrong by passing these instructions on. I've credited the mag which is what I believe my obligation to be. If anyone has a huge problem, then contact me privately please...otherwise enjoy. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
