So it is time for a new challenge, hopefully I can do it. Artbeadscene has a monthly challenge that is based off of a painting. Being a painter I really enjoy this. I have ordered a few beads but I am wanting to start adding my own handmade pieces as I progress as an artist in this medium.

What a lovely pallet!
