Happy Sunday – oops! Monday! Art Bead Sceners. Better late than never…..
This week is the last of our flora/food bead theme….and so we need a new theme for next month! For August, I’d like you to show me beads depicting people/faces etc. I’m not quite sure what you’d call that concisely….
This week, I found these very cute lampwork beads on etsy.
But nobody shared any of their jewellery! Come on guys – we want to feature you, here on the blog! 😉
So remember…..this week, I’d like you to share not only handmade beads, but also items of jewellery that YOU have created using art beads that fit the theme. I will select one item of jewellery to share, along with the art beads. You can share a blog link, an etsy link, a flickr link…..whatever works for you! NB The jewellery MUST contain art beads that fit the theme………there’s your challenge for the week! They can be your art beads or another’s – they’ve just got to be in there. And if you haven’t any jewellery to fit the theme – why not take this opportunity to make some? Faces, dolls – even hands, legs, arms, if you have any beads depicting these!
And here are the Bead Blogger Links. Enjoy the week!
Great news from the Cousin Corporation! Five new jewelry making ambassadors have been announced!
Catch up on a few new book reviews, one sweet and one artistic.
