I think I was on a bit of a roll for using beads that I feel guilty at keeping in the bead box for far too long! It did help that last month I picked up a particularly gorgeous unique that happens to compliment both Wave of Dreams and a unique I picked up last year. Throw in a pair of zodiac stars and voila!
Do you have a particularly fine example of a production bead
that you've neglected in your bead box?
That is definitely a gorgeous example of the Wave of Dreams! I like how not only do the uniques pick up the colour of the Wave of Dreams, they also both have a bit of the wave shape in their designs.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I have what other people would consider particularly fine examples of production beads. I like my blue deserts because of the variety in their patterns, but each on its own probably isn't that unusual. There are certain beads where it took me a while to find one that really appealed to me though, so for me they are really fine examples. :)
It's a fab version isn't it? A friend of mine handpicked on a bead crawl; at the time I asked if they ever sold it please could I have first refusal... I'd always admired it from afar! What it's been waiting for though were beads that complement it *enough*.
DeleteSome of the best production beads I've seen in one collection belong to a friend of mine. She's got a fab eye for them and we were in BB looking at her beads and I was gobsmacked on how lovely some of her production stuff was!

This is a very nice combination!
ReplyDeleteA bead that I absolutely had to have and now don´t wear is Treasures. It is a really beautiful bead but I don´t like the size of it. :-/
But fortunatly I also enjoy just looking into my bead-box, and I love to see this beauty there, too! ;-)
Thanks Do! It's difficult with some beads isn't it, they're so beautiful but you sometimes can't use them very often.
DeleteI have that with Penguin and baby, it's the only bead I've asked for as a gift, but the way in which it hangs on the bracelet means I rarely use it - love the actual bead but it's not an easy one to use!
