Notes

With 7 colors of beads. And this time just use the colorway as given.

I’m using the yarn frogged from the prototype for this one. I can leave the central water lily, and just start with the pond weed and dragonfly.

Center Water lily: T8-634A : Silverlined Straw Gold AB from Whimbeads.
Wings: T8-643B S/L Dark Peacock AB from Whimbeads
Seaweed: Toho T8-167B Trans Rainbow Grass Green
Body: Higher Metallic June Bug from Earthfaire Toho T8-0506

If I can find a good color, I’d like the inner body to be different from the outter body color.

Eyes: 8-452 Miyuki dark bue iris

Outer water lily: Miyuki 8-1004 SL Dk Gold AB

Center Water lily: T8-634A : Silverlined Straw Gold AB from Whimbeads.
Wings: T8-643 SL Teal AB from Whimbeads
Seaweed: T8-643A SL Chartreuse AB from Whimbeads
(I wonder if the numbers are right on the tubes, or not? Looks like not.)
Outer Body: Higher Metallic June Bug from Earthfaire Toho T8-0506
Inner Body: Duracoat Galvanized Seafoam from Earthfaire. Probably Miyuki, I don’t know the number.
Eyes: 8-283 --- Noir Lined Crystal AB
Outer water lily: Miyuki 8-1004 SL Dk Gold AB.
