Amuse the Muse - Tribal-Inspired Beads with Rebecca of Songbead

Happy Monday everyone! Here's to a warm and sunny - and inspiring - last week of May. And without further ado, here's your last dose of tribal-inspired beads! Have you enjoyed this month's theme? I know I have. My style doesn't often lean towards the tribal - rustic, yes, but somehow not tribal - so it's been really fun to discover lots of new-to-me bead artists, and thinking how I could use some of these more unusual components within my own work and style. 

Here's what I found for you this week!
