  24. It was difficult just choosing one but I finally decided my favoirte was a colorful set of beads from Fragiacomo's shop. I tried to list the item and it wouldn't cut & paste?????? Anyway the color combinations and textures were wonderful and would draw admiring comments and glances from anyone who saw them. They were gorgeous.

  25. I think one of my favourites would have to be the FGA Pretty focal - lovely sunmmery colours and flowers!

    ReplyDelete
  26. So hard to choose! I REALLY dig the dragon teeth/bones. However, you've asked what we like for summer and why, so I'd have to say I like the disks best, esp. the organic colors. They would make a reat long-length necklace spaced and knotted with ribbon, nylon, silk, leather, or whatever. The colors would alsogo with a ton of different outfits, from dressy to casual. Just love your work!

  30. I love the Textured heart focal bead at Fragiacomo.

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8557812

    It is perfect for summer as it has bright lively colors and for a bead shaped like a heart it is very unique. I would make a necklace with mainly navy blue and white beads to show this honey of a bead off.

  35. Your beads are just so beautiful! The Tropical Tiles remind us of the trip to the islands and how summer can always be with us! When the snow is falling in New England where we live, looking at the TROPICAL TILES beads will bring back the warm summer memories.

  45. Ok I know I'm slow here, but I honestly am so new at this blogging it;s ridiculous.
    I LOVE your sea shell beads and the frogs.
    I received a lampwork frog bead years ago and have made a bracelet (wire wrapped) and all my students try to steal it each session. I'll have to give them your store name to get them some.

  48. Cobalt Silvered Pendant - I have a stash of cobalt beads from when I began beading that I have no idea what to do with it. It is great for summer, because it is cool and beachy but year round also because of the richness of the silver and the cobalt pairing.
