Beads and funky shapes

This month's featured collab is a small business on a new venture making beaded jewellery. And I'm talking big beads with funky and modern shapes. 

Manekbeads is a small home business run by an artist based in Malaysia, who does mainly floral painting on objects like stools, chairs, cheese boards, mirrors, candles and glass. Turning her skills to beads and jewellery is a new development for her. 

You can find Manekbeads on FB at Facebook.com/manekbeads and on IG @manekbeads

Join in to be in to win this little beauty of a necklance by sharing your still life photography skills. The theme is "pastel palette" so rummage around for anything pastel and shoot it artfully tagging it to #thepastelpaletteseries as per the below instructions.

To help you along, look out for some blog posts over the next few weeks on taking pics for IG, using your phone.
