Join us in this week's Material Musings where we look at the beads and the scrap jewelry that we may have that we can add to our projects.

We also include some handmade elements that you can make out of recycled materials and some practical tips for attaching them as well. #textileart #paintedfabrics #beading #embrioderyart
