Having made Jade Sprays, see related link
https://baiyu-quietmuse.blogspot.com/2015/03/new-life-for-old-charms.html I have moved on to making Beaded Floral Sprays. Below are some examples of my work using seed beads, old glass beads, and jade.

My miniature sprays also look nice standing in miniature antique bottles seen below

The last and most complex spray's pattern was copied from a book and made with small seed beads, carnelian beads and jade leaves.
