    Four of Spades
    Gwen Fisher

    If you like the Rosebud beaded bead, you’ll love the Four of Spades.
    The Four of Spades resembles a flower bud with four spade motifs pointing
    towards each of the two holes of the beaded bead. In making the Four of
    Spades beaded bead, you will use the Fringe Method, and then embellish
    with several rounds of seed beads. Both made with the Fringe Method,
    the Four of Spades beaded bead and the Rosebud beaded bead make a
    matching graduated pair of beads.
