Amuse the Muse – Flower Beads – with Rebecca of Songbead

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!

    Floral beads always get my attention. I don't often make pieces without them! I found some really interesting floral beads – lavender blossoms (lavender is a favourtite of mine) here:

    Gorgeous encased lampwork beads (I would LOVE to order some of these!) here:

    I love Erin's roses. Floral beads are always welcome especially at this time of year. 🙂
