I just love this piece of artwork and it is the inspiration for the February Art Bead Scene challenge. I kinda knew what I wanted to make but it didn't work out. Obviously I needed some new beads to inspire me so I went shopping on Etsy and found a new to me lampwork artist Rosemarie Hanus and her wonderful shop Spawn of Flame. I mean look at these beads that I picked up! How can I not be inspired.
As soon as they arrive and I make my pretty I will be sure to share it with you all.
Oh her beads are so pretty! Stop that >.< I just got a new batch in and I even ordered myself a ring... can't buy anymore goodies this month! lol
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous though :) Can't wait to see the new piece :)
Perfect! Great choice of art beads.
ReplyDeleteShaiha,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Rosemarie's etsy shop I have saved it as a favorite, cause when I get more mad money that is where I'm going. Those are gorgeous beads and I'm looking forward to seeing your finished piece.
