New Beads and Art Bead Scene Blog

So I was reading through the Art Bead Scene blog, and looking at their Monthly Challenge picture, which is Persia by Geroge Barbier, and suddenly the next day I had these:

Only a very small aspect of the original inspiration is seen in these beads, but I was pretty pleased with the overall look of them, especially as I don't usually plan out a specific design, and rarely manage to use actual art as a jumping off point (I am emphatically NOT knowledgeable about art *G*) I'm not entering the challenge because I don't have other elements that I would need, but it's been like my own mini-challenge!

In other bloggy news, the usual Sunday Browsing feature was lacking last week, because I didn't have the time (or internet vouchers) to do any browsing - that's right, it's not just a conceit, I really do browse through Etsy on Sundays usually *G* It'll be back this Sunday though.
