Gold and Blue Flower

This is an interesting bead... I'm not sure if it is a tulip or a flower at all, that's just how I'm seeing it. I like the detailing in gold, but again, I'm not sure of the intent of this bead. It sort of reminds me of the ear of corn bead that was recently posted.

The aqua color is very nice and would work well with some gold beads and might be cute in a right angle weave design with some gold rounds.

Let me know your thoughts on this one if you have a minute, I would love to get your input!
