Amuse the Muse – Metal Art Beads – with Rebecca of Songbead

Hello everyone! A late Amuse the Muse post this week as it’s that time of the month – lots of challenge housekeeping to get sorted first of all. Are you feeling inspired for this month’s challenge? I am hoping to get the chance to play along this month – fingers crossed!

This month’s theme for my Muse posts is metal beads. Metals often get overlooked somehow, by me at least, so I’ve decided to bring them into the forefront for August. Remember to leave links to any favourite metal art beads you find in the comments below!

And now for the BeadBlogger Links – have a great week(end!) everyone!
