So, what IS The Beaded Art Shop?
Melody Lea Lamb and Karen Lideen are two creative women, who having met via social networks, combined their artistic talents to create truly lovely beaded art! Melody's "Miniature Masterpieces - Tiny Treasures" of fantasy beings and woodland creatures are blended with Karen's unique approach to hand-beading. Combining the craft of hand-sewing and hand-beading with the soul of art we create home decor and accessories using our talent, time and passion. Yes, this is what really happens. This is the beauty and the joy. This is what we bring to your world!
