d	Sequin Tree My own design using green leaf-shaped sequins and purple beads.
d	Bouquet of Roses My own design based on looking at many pictures of real and beaded roses from many sources.
d	Apple Tree My own design, based largely on memories of growing up with these in the backyard.
d	Autumn Tree My own design.
d	Spring Basket A bouquet of various spring-ish flowers in a basket. Flowers included: lily of the valley and baby's tears from French Beaded Flowers I: A Guide for Beginners by Helen McCall, gardenia from Beaded Flowers, Bouquets and Garlands by Suzanne McNeil, zinnia from Bead Flowers by Aleene, tulip from French-Beaded Flowers: New Millennium Collection by Dalene Kelly, and three flowers of my own design: a daffodil, lilac sprigs, and some random blue-loop things that may or may not actually exist in nature.
d	Birds of Paradise and Anthurium Arrangement From New Patterns for Bead Flowers and Decorations by Virginia Nathanson. It's actually the arrangement pictured on the cover of that book, although I added some twisted spiral bits to fill it out.
d	Dutchman's Breeches From French-Beaded Flowers: New Millennium Collection by Dalene Kelly.
d	Ghost Gum My own design, a gift for my husband as these are found in his homeland of Australia.
d	Snap Dragon From French-Beaded Flowers: New Millennium Collection by Dalene Kelly.
d	Strawberries From New Patterns for Bead Flowers and Decorations by Virginia Nathanson, although I varied her pattern quite a bit. I only made the first two berries by her bead count because I wanted a variety. The arrangement on three tiers was also my design. To do it, I bought three sizes of terra cotta pots (they're super cheap!), then cut floral foam to fit in each. I then lined them up concentrically, then pushed a pointed wooden dowel (from my cake decorating supplies) down through all three pots. Then I lifted the upper pots enough to squeeze some normal white glue between them and the floral foam beneath. I glued liberally, squished them back down, and then covered the extra glue with the Spanish moss. I'm quite happy with the result!
d	Fern Adapted from a pattern in Hobbymodeller 8 - Beaded Plants by Stenboden.
d	Fuschia From French-Beaded Flowers: New Millennium Collection by Dalene Kelly.
