First Bead Porn of 2015!

These are always my favorite posts - few things are as much fun as looking at some really delicious beads, right?

Right.


 
 
First off are these yummy cranberry "cruller" beads...I've already used these in a few designs and they are so pretty and sparkly!
 

 
 
Watery green and wavy disk beads.
 

 
 
Petite flowers with a lovely Picasso finish.
 

 
 
Emerald green dragonfly disks.
 

 
 
Purpley-green star disks - such amazing colors in each of these!  All of the above are from Arte Bella Surplus.
 
 
 
 
Dyed howlite teardrops...
 

 
 
...reconstituted turquoise spikes...
 

 
 
...and ivory howlite marquis...all from Gemme Tresor.

...Mykonos spiral bail...


 
 
...and Mykonos spiral shell charms all from Fab Beads.
 
 
 
 
Gorgeous verdigris sand dollar pendant and...
 

 
 
...sweet little bird charm from Linden Avenue Designs.

Bright ceramic fish charms from Scorched Earth...have already used these as well and will share that design next week, too.
 

 
 
You might recognize this set from my "Sand Dollar Bay" necklace that I posted about a couple of days ago.  It's from Havana Beads.
 
 
 
 
In the lampwork category, I have all these pretty flower-embossed rounded rectangle beads...
 

 
 
...in multiple colors...
 

 
 
...because I loved them all so much and couldn't make up my mind LOL!  They are all from Sue Kennedy.
 
That ought to do it for this week.  I plan to sprinkle a number of these posts throughout the year so be sure to stay tuned for more great finds!
 
Happy Friday!

I love the Bronze dragonfly bracelet bar...and everything else, too, of course. But the dragonfly was my favorite piece of porn.
