Friday Bead Porn

Nothing like bead porn to chase away the rainy day blues.  So Cal is getting its first wet weather (I don't count drizzle) in over a year!


 
 
Brass turtle with spiral design from Linden Avenue Designs.
 

 
 
And they had a verdigris patina version, too.


 
 
Plus this tiny little turtle charm - perfect for hanging on a bracelet.
 

 
 
And some verdigris spacers!  I find that one can never have too many spacer beads - they are so useful.
 

 
 
Copper starfish earring charms from Kristi Bowman.
 

 
 
Bronze clay flower with gorgeous colors from Thea Elements.
 

 
 
And a pretty pink/olive green bronze bracelet bar from the same store.



 
 
I'm sure everyone outside of So Cal is thoroughly sick of winter, but for those of us who don't get snow...I thought this captured winter's beauty perfectly.
 

 
 
But, for those who are really, truly over it, here's a spring version...
 

 
 
...and this gorgeous fiery red and orange flower clasp for summer/fall.  There!  All seasons covered.  These are all from Bead Swede Supplies.
 

 
 
Watery, ceramic scroll links from Pajego Art House.
 

 
 
Bright, sunny yellow dragonfly pendant/clasp from the same source.
 

 
 
Delicate pink and yellow lampwork pansies from Serena Smith.
 

 
 
Intense, bright lampwork pair from Stinky Dog Beads.
 

 
 
Deep pink beads from The Lampwork Beads.
 

 
 
Streaky blue/green lentils from Flame Crazy.
 

 
 
Pink/orange/yellow flower disk beads from Beeboo.
 

 
 
A gorgeous set of finely detailed lampwork beads in ivory and teal from Pinocean.
 

 
 
Lastly, this yummy set of turquoise, yellow and lime green lampwork beads from Loupiac.
 
Hope you enjoyed this week's selection and don't forget to stop by tomorrow for the Challenge of Music Blog Hop!

Woke up to -18 degrees today. The windchill is like -28. SO over it! Here's to hoping you don't get washed away in the rain! Enjoy the day. Erin

I woke up to snow this morning. So relieved! This is the driest winter I can remember since we moved up to the Tahoe area. Both sides of the Sierras need water and snow! It's hard to look at our mountain lakes and see them so empty!

Love the bead porn! Love your blog! It's great for inspiration.
