Spiral Wire Flower

This small flower is made from round spiral wire petals. The first layer has 5 petals, all of which are made from two colors: yellow and red. The second second layer has 6 red petals. The center is a cream colored wonder bead.
The molla (spiral) wire is 0.3 mm (28 gauge) which was wound onto a 1.3 mm (16 gauge) wire.
The technique of filling a small wire coil with thread can look very lovely when used in jewelry. For an example of this method used for earrings, please see Magpie's Mumblings.
