Alright all you French beaded flower makers!!!

Botanic beadery is blossoming!
You’re invited to contribute to our latest Community Project, and this year’s theme is “Community Blooms.”
We want you to create beadwork flowers that will be part of a year-long exhibit in our Gallery. Once finished, the individual items are used in fundraising efforts for the Museum supporting the staff, development, and programs of this community-based institution.
For more details and guidelines for the project, follow
