Also from The Color of Dreams. Cute poly clay pairs just dying to become earrings!
Also from Mars Design - check out the cool silver metal centers!
Is it Lay's potato chips where the slogan is "betcha can't eat just one?" Yeah, I'm kinda like that with beads...except not so much with the eating and more with the buying and collecting.
Okay, okay, I've occasionally been tempted to eat a bead, but so far, I've resisted that temptation.
As far as you know.
Heather Powers at Humblebeads had a sale a while back which finally allowed me to get some of her beads.
I'm lovin' these links - they are going to be FUN to design with.
Another one of Heather's beads. This pendant has two sets of holes so that it will hang horizontally. I love the colors in it, too.
And lastly, this "frosted berries" square bead. Yum!
As you can see, I was kind of on a poly clay kick. Until recently, it has never been a favorite of mine, but there are a number of artists out there really taking it to new heights so expand your horizons and check them out if you haven't already.

P.S. I've already contacted those involved directly to apologize, but I wanted to say for the record here on the blog that any comments I may have made about "bead porn" being my idea or my territory were STRICTLY meant to be humorous and should not be taken any other way. Of course, it's a completely free concept and anyone can use it. If you want to give me a link back out of the goodness of your heart - yay! If not, no biggie. My sense of humor often turns out to be funny only inside my own head so if you EVER read something here and you're not sure if I was serious or not, PLEASE e-mail me so we can straighten it out. I want everyone to have a good time and share the jokes.
Okay?
Okay.
Happy Holidays, all!

Nice beads!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with Ryan. I hope I didn't start the bead porn rivalry! I always know when you are jocking because I have the same kind of sense of humour as you. I love reading your blog so keep em' comin'!!
Hugs

I know that others are bead porning it with you... and I think that adds to the fun! You are going to give porn a healthy connotation, my friend! A welcome side effect!
I love all of these, bright and bubbly colors. Those flowers from Israel are AWESOME! And funny, but I bought some of the exact same beads from Heather, that long poppy one for instance. Maybe we should challenge each other to a bead-off and design with the same component?!? Hmmmm...I feel an "inspired by" challenge coming on!
Merry Christmas, my friend!
You are a treasure that I am glad to have found this year.
Enjoy the day!

great beads and enjoy your son and crabs!!
just for the record - never crossed my mind that you were implying it was your concept... it's clever... there is a flickr group with that name as well...
surely hope you lost no sleep over this... you are such a nice person...
and thanks for all of your incredible wit this year... you gave me some much needed lightening up!
You are too funny, just stumbled on your blog from somewhere else. Love it. And I love bead porn. You go girl!
