I've been lazy, not posting over the holidays and have been steadily watching my daily hits falling from 400 to about, oh 80 or so. Naughty! But I'm back with some news... Oh yes! Oh yes, I've seen the Spring beads. You will be very, very pleased with them. This is a really stellar release, but enough gushing and some dirt for you:
Greens & Creams dominate the glass, with some burgundy shades to co-ordinate with the silver core Ruby. Yes this stone finally makes it into the "peasant" budget by ditching the expensive gold core for more sensible silver. A Cream Armadillo dominates - (remember those lovely Chai Buds & Glass Stones that we miss so much???) - well someone at TBHQ was listening and although not quite the same as our old favorites, you'll be pleased with the new spring cream glass.
The silvers are amazing; among my favorites are a silver elongated Phoenix bird to captivate your imagination, a leaping rabbit in the style of "Decorated Bird" from the Fall release, a small silver Flowers bead offered in gold or silver, and some bending-the-mind barrel silver beads that offer a new look from anything we've seen before. The Double Heart clasp is a must, and re-invents the design of the past TB locks. I think this will be a crowd pleaser.
No, I haven't stolen any pictures to share with you. Well, I have, but quite frankly the fan-sponsored forums do a much better job of sharing the sneak peeks & details these days. They've almost put my blog out of business. So I'm just going to summarize a few tips for everyone who doesn't have the time to regularly read the forums/FB groups:
