Mini Casa made this casa to celebrate Art Bead Scene. Art Bead Scene didn't make it and isn't affiliated with Mini Casa.
The blog of Art Bead Scene, which highlights art beads and the artisans who make them, with creative challenges for jewelry makers. Useful for makers looking for handmade bead sources.
Art bead features and challenges that spark jewelry design ideas.
The About page explains that the blog aims to bring together bead artists and the jewelry designers who use art beads. It lists its regular features: bead-world news, interviews with artists and designers, and reviews of products, books and stores that carry art beads.
Visit linkThe Submissions page sets the editorial focus on jewelry designers who use art beads. It asks bead artists, shops, designers and manufacturers to send news and events, invites guest tutorial proposals sent without attachments, and explains how book reviews are handled.

Visit linkArt Bead Scene is organized around one idea: the small handmade bead is the center of a jewelry piece. Its focus is the artists who make beads and the designers who use them, often in the same post. Recurring formats give the blog its structure. Perfect Pairings sets a designer's piece beside the work of featured bead artists, and monthly challenges, with prizes donated by sponsors, invite makers to design a piece in response. Contributors also cover art beads that are not beads at all, such as buttons used as pendants.
