From , former About.com Guide

Inspiration for your beadweaving can come from many different sources. Some of my favorites are fine art museums, mountain views and my chickens. Maybe a particular form of jewelry inspires you or a favorite color. Share your favorite source of beading inspiration here, and maybe someone else will be able to use it to come up with some fresh ideas.

Fabric Shops!!

I always sop in at my neighborhood JoAnn's to see what's new in their bead dept. I make sure to peruse the fabrics and pattern catalogs to see what color combos and styles are up and coming.

Altered art with beads

Thanks for the article - I have been collecting objects and using beadwork to alter them for some time now and never had a name for what I did... great to see how others approach this great way to bead.
