Rose Petal Bead Update

The “blended” beads still look like Iams dog food, but they smell fantastic. I’m wondering if adding a little Fruit Fresh or even lemon juice will keep them from browning. I’m afraid the lemon juice will cut the rose scent, but it might keep the flowers from browning (think cut apples or peaches…they brown unless you squeeze on some lemon juice or Fruit Fresh).

The “cooked” beads are black. They aren’t pretty and they don’t smell like anything but the wire they are pierced with. I’m disappointed with them as a whole, so I probably won’t do anything with them.

Saturday I will hit up the flower shop again for more petals. Maybe some Administrative Assistants bouquets didn’t sell and I’ll get a whole bunch of petals to try out…..
