    Lotus Bead
    Gwen Fisher

    The Lotus Beaded Bead resembles a glistening flower in full bloom. The
    finished Lotus can measure any size, depending upon what size and how
    many drop beads you use. The Lotus in the step photographs measures
    43mm wide and 20mm thick, making it a good size for a large focal piece
    for a necklace. Because there is such a wide variety of shapes and sizes
    of drop beads, the 11 pages of instructions with 44 photos and illustrations
    guide you through a general process in addition to giving you an exact recipe
    to follow for one particular Lotus Bead. In making the Lotus Beaded Bead,
    you will use peyote stitch.
