Amuse the Muse - birds and butterflies - with Rebecca of Songbead

Hello lovely ABS-ers! I don't know about you, but Spring has truly sprung these past few days here in Edinburgh. Yesterday I had a perfectly gorgeous spring-y day - a walk on Portobello beach with a friend's doggie, splashing about in the waves and drinking lots of cups of tea. All that was missing was beads and it would have been perfect! 

So here are a few perfectly gorgeous Spring-y beads for you this week - more beautiful birds and butterflies to inspire you:


ABS's newest team member - Anne of Gardanne Beads!



I've got a whole new bounty of beads in at The Curious Bead Shop, including this beautiful glass peacock button. 







Have a great week everyone! I hope you're able to get out and enjoy yourselves - and have some fun with art beads too!

Wow! Your bird and butterfly beads are truly magnificent! Also, they look absolutely gorgeous on the necklace on the photo which is posted within the article! You provided me with outstanding inspiration to complete my DIY project for ca.pinkelstar.com. Thank you so much!

Some beautiful beads there. I am most inspired by nature, so I love most all of these, especially that lampwork bird in the top photo!

Absolutely gorgeous selections, Rebecca - as ever! I was making little birdie beads yesterday and I do think they're so much fun for spring :) xo -- Julie
