About Dalene I. Kelly Books
Dalene Kelly is the authour of several published pattern books; "French-Beaded Flowers" 2001, "More French Beaded Flowers", 2004, (aka "French Beadeded Flowers" published by David & Charles for European distribution) "Bead and Wire Flowers", and the "Big Book of Beautiful Beads", features many of her patterns. Bead & Button Magazine featured one of Dalene's first patterns, the Phalaenopsis Orchid, on the cover of the Oct. 2001 issue. Dalene was a contributor and encouraged others to contribute, by donating her patterns, to the "911 Wreath Project", making a bead flower wreath for each crash site. After many years of no new material, publishing her patterns made flower beading popular again.
