Intro and outro for the hearing impaired:
Welcome to the Bead Flora book bead-a-long! Today starts the bead-a-long for this French beaded flower arrangement! Hi everyone! My name is Fen Li, designer here at the Bead Flora studio, and author to the book Bead Flora: the revival of French beaded flowers. On this channel, I offer technique reference guides, tip videos, and free French beaded flower tutorials just like this one. If you’re new here and would like to get started with learning the art of bead and wire flowers, consider subscribing. If you’d like to make these projects, check out the playlist for the bead-a-long for the Technique Projects where I went over in detail all of the techniques. The first project that we’ll be working on is the brown-eyed susan. I put together a kit if you’d like to make the full arrangement and use the exact beads I’m using. You don’t need to buy the book to make this project because I’ll release the full pattern. The book is also part of the Kindle Unlimited program so if you’d like to check it out, you can get a 30 day free trial. Materials and all the links will be in the description. For today’s lesson, we’ll be working on the petals using a technique I developed called the continuous split basic. Let’s get started!

(Outro)
I will give you a couple of days to work on this lesson and upload the next lesson on Thursday. For Thursday’s lesson, we’ll work on the center. Connect with me in the French beaded flower facebook group and share your flowers with other beaders. Email me pictures of your flowers and I may feature it in a future video! If you found value in today’s video, give it a thumbs up. Subscribe if you haven’t already and hit the notification bell so you don’t miss a thing! Thank you so much for watching, and I’ll see you in a couple of days! Bye!
