2 Silver Orange Blossoms . . .

For this blossom, I used 90% Silver Smooth Purl (size 6) and Silver Plated Bright Check (size 9) for the outer ridge in a pattern of 3 rows Smooth Purl and 1 row Bright Check.  Next the ridge is outlined using a row of #12 Silver Plated Spangles.  The remaining part of the petal is filled with chipping of 90% Silver Smooth Purl (size 6).  The stamens were made with Silver Plated Bright Check (size 9) with Silver-lined Drop Japanese Seed Beads.  The central stamen was made using Silver Plated Bright Check (size 4) with a 4mm Clear Swarovski Round Crystal.
