Christy-

This is a post I got from someone who had seen my web page on making 
rose petal beads. Can you help him, or offer any suggestions?

Thanks.

Good Snorri-

Wow! Sounds cool. I'm not familiar with your re-enactment group, but 
it sounds great.

I'm not a herbalist myself, just someone who has an abundance of rose 
petals every year, and has to do something with them  :-)

I'm sending your post to a friend of mine who is in the same medieval 
re-enactment group that I'm in. She's much more knowledgeable than I 
am, and hopefully can point you toward some good resources.

Good luck.
