Spring Flowers Cuff

I bought some gorgeous hand blown glass beads from a local artist this past December. They make beautiful lampwork beads and amazing glass masterpieces. (see store here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/NomadCraftsEtc ) I hadn't found a use for them yet, so I decided to try something new. Here's what I came up with. Hope you enjoy and make some too. :)
