Mixed Lucite transluscent flower bead necklace

With this project I have used 'lucite' flowers and leaves on a faceted bead base. To create the base I have used 6mm facted beads with seed beads in between to create a string, putting the clasp on either end. Then working back along the string. Go though a faceted bead and add 6 seed beads your 'lucite' bead a seed bead and come back down the 'lucite' bead and 6 seed beads, though the next seed in the string and carry on in this manner along the necklace until you've added enough lucite bead groups.  You may wish to add more than one group of beads in between each of the facets.
