The Artisan Whimsy group puts out a great e-magazine each month called Bead Chat. The Art Bead Scene is proud to be a new monthly contributor and will share the links to our news stories here on the blog.

by Franklin Carmichael from 1926. This
painting inspired a great collection of sun-drenched beach house creations and
sea-themed jewelry. Be sure to check out
