Happy Sunday, Art Bead Sceners! Here in the UK, it really is beginning to feel that Spring may be here, or at least just around the corner. The sun is out, and after a really busy week for me - a whole load of new beads in Curious, new jewellery designs for Songbead. Today, I am hoping to get out and about in the sunshine and enjoy it whilst it lasts.
This month we are looking for and asking you to share you handmade flower beads - very apt for the season. Last week, Elise Thomas shared some of her beautiful new lampwork flower bouquets - perfect just as they are, as well as for creating with.
I love these gorgeous colours together!
I came up with a treasury to get you started. Don't forget to share your favourite flower finds here in the comments too.
