Hello hello – it’s me! Life is rather challenging, shall we say, for me and my little family at the moment, and so I haven’t been able to post here on Art Bead Scene as much as I would like to – I’m really lucky to have the support of the team taking over when needs be! However, things are calmer these past few days so I’m here again! Thank you to Tari for taking over for me last week. You are a star! (You should see my own blog…..one word – TUMBLEWEED…..!)
Flowers are the theme for April, which is happily one of my favourite images to work with in jewellery. Who are your favourite flower bead artists? Do you make flower beads? Leave your links in the comments!
Here’s some of the flowery goodness that the Art Bead Scene team have created to inspire you and your designs. Tari shared a bunch of her beautiful buttons last week, but let’s see what everyone else has for you…
Seriously sweet roses from Erin…
Art-inspired floral loveliness from Heather (some of Lottie’s favourites too, thank you for the shout out!)…
Handwoven daisies from me…
Impressed copper wildflowers from Ema…
Bold, graphic blooms from Claire…
And a happy, happy scarlet daisy from Mary – don’t you just adore this colour combination?
Which ones are your favourites?
And now for the BeadBlogger Links. Have a great week!
Winter is coming… actually, it’s spring, but the new season of Game of Thrones starts soon. See what Andrew created for a jewelry challenge that pays homage to the books and television series.
Prims are all the rage these days and Connie is fascinated with them. She’s added a new free pattern that is inspired by all the primitive designers she admires. It will have you “crowing” in anticipation of a quick finish.
If you’d like to try bead weaving, here’s a great way to learn. Look at the ring Eileen made in her first attempt.
