If you're going to make flowers into jewelry, you need to preserve the color as well as the fact they're flowers. And once again I learn that Mr. Twistie isn't a man. He hates beer and has no interest in baseball, so he'd never want either a beer stein or an autographed baseball. He'd rather have a new bit of equipment for his studio. Frankly, he's more concerned right now with fixing some issues in the house. Also, he'd never tell me that spending money on something I care about is too frivolous. Mr. Twistie never asked the price of anything for the wedding while I was the one merrily crossing things off the list because I didn't want to pay for them and they didn't matter to me. As far as he was concerned, if I wanted it, I should have it. I'm more than willing to pay for quality, but there'd better be some before I plunk down my hard-earned cash. Phooey on your sexist and incompetant heads, Keepsake Floral! I’ve seen some gorgeous beads made out of preserved flowers, but these are not among them.

Why do all men need a beer stein or autographed baseball? And what husband would admit to telling his wife to not preserve flowers just so he could buy the beer stein? One who will be sleeping on the couch for a while... I think my fiance would protest if I wanted to spend several hundred dollars on preserving flowers. His argument, however, would be that those several hundred dollars could go towards paying off medical school loans, which is a valid argument considering the interest on the loans. And also slightly more worthwhile than a beer stein or an autographed baseball. Wow, I found that really sexist as well. Why do all men need a beer stein or autographed baseball?

My sister had petals from her bouquet made into rosaries for her and her husband and they look much better than that! I am certain that there are better ways to make beads out of flower petals.
