Sadly, I didn’t get my entry for the Art Bead Scene June challenge finished in time. The piece was finished, it was the photos and blog post that stumped me! I thought you might like to see it anyway!
The inspiration for the June challenge was a lovely illustration from Victorian era botanical artist Marianne North.
Trees Laden with Parasites and Epiphytes in a Brazilian Garden, 1873, by Marianne North, Oil on Paper. Colour palette by Brandi Hussey.
The focal element of this illustration is the lush green foliage, and the contrast of the tiny red flowers. I used a Blu Mudd connector with a leafy pattern and two sizes of green beads , along with some tiny red and white ceramic beads to make a sweet bracelet.

Beautiful Lissy, hope to see it next week. XX Sue
I’m so glad you posted this anyway because it’s really beautiful! Such a perfect combination of beads for that lovely focal. I love the little red flowers! An excellent interpretation of the inspiration art.
