• We will, we will BEAD YOU December 13, 2018

  Honey, you’re a gal with some beads string-in’
  on your mat, gonna be a great piece some day
  You got beads on your face
  It’s no disgrace
  Beading your stuff all over the place
  Singin’
  We will, we will, bead you
  We will, we will, bead you

  Your earworm of the day. You’re welcome.

  And how may we bead you today?

  How about the new Swarovksi Iridescent Tahitian Look Pearl?

  Unlike the old Swarovski Tahitian Look pearl, …

  

  (Discontinued, but we have a few left if you want them) which was a dark steel grey, the new Tahitian look has that bi-colour shimmer that the Swarovski pearls have been sporting of late, i.e. the Iridescent Green, Iridescent Purple,

  

  

  Iridescent Red, Iridescent Dark Blue

  

  

  Iridescent Light Blue, and Iridescent Dove Grey

  

  

  The new Swarovksi Iridescent Tahitian-Look is a deep green with a strong influence of blue. Most of the gals here are calling it “teal.”

  We have it in rounds from 10 mm down to 2 mm.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  “Wait a minute,” I hear at least one of you say. “Since when has Swarovski made a 2 mm pearl?”

  Well, since right now. Swarovski 2 mm round pearls. How useful is that? Tiny little – well – seed pearls for want of a better term. But consistently sized and consistently available. (Seed pearls are notoriously difficult to source. The smallest we have right now in freshwater pearls are 2 x 4 mm.)

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  In all the classic colours. These are going to look awesome in stringing and beadweaving and beadwork projects, like the kind you could be making if you indulge yourself in Jean Power’s new book!

  

  Course, you’ll probably need some Swarovski crystals to go with that … like maybe the new Amethyst and Crystal Shimmer?

  

  

  Or some hearts? In Scarlet?

  

  

  Or, these Light Chrome Capped Pendants? With a metallic cap as part of the design, these drops look like they already have a bead cap custom fitted. It is just on one side, so that if you use them backwards, they have a different look. Stylish and versatile.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  So just go ahead and bead it!
