I tend to be an impulse shopper. I am subscribed to several different discount mailing lists and I do score some awesome deals online. It's a good thing that I do because where I end up spending money seems to be on beads. It's not that I need more beads but when I come across the unique ones, I hear this little voice screaming at me that if I don't get them now then I will never have a chance again. And then I justify it by saying "Well I will recoup the money when I sell the piece of jewelry that I make it up into". The only problem is that I am great at selling other people's products. Just not my own.
Anyways I wanted to share some of my latest additions to my collection and hopefully I will be sending them off to a new home in a gorgeous piece of jewelry.
These beads are such a rich blue with a wonderful depth of color. They were made by CC Design.
I am really drawn to this shape even though I am not quite sure how to use these beads. I am sure that it will come to me though. Perhaps a pair of earrings. These are from Modern Trails and when I purchased them last month, this shop was open on Etsy but when I try to grab the link to it, it appears that they are closed. Now I am really glad that I grabbed them when I did.
One of my favorite bead artists is Juls of StudioJuls so what porn collection would be complete without some beads I had picked up from her recently. I am not quite sure how I am going to use this focal but I thought that it was beautiful and unique so I added it to my collection of beads.
Another shop that I tend to pick up beads and focals from regularly is Tree Wings Studio. This shop specializes in polymer and has some of the more unique designs. Rebekah, the shop owner, is just a dream to work with.
I have more beauties to share, of course. But I think that I will stop here as those pics do take a while to load if you don't have a faster internet connection. But before I go, do you have any favorite shops that you would like to share?
Beautiful beads. I look forward to seeing what you make from them!
