Netted Rose

This little netted rose is made from size 11 seed beads and a thin nylon line (like that used in fishing). The pattern comes from the Russian magazine Wonderful Instants (Vol. 3 Issue 19). This bead journal is quite nice and issues may occasionally be available on e-Bay. The patterns have many clear pictures and the details are written in Russian. This is one component of a lovely beaded necklace.
By making this project, I realized that the nylon line isn't very good for off-loom stitches. It is strong, but not flexible like regular thread. The best thread to use is Silamide, which is also made of nylon, but it is thin, flexible, and available in many colors.
