Glass Bead of the Day: February 13th

Amid all the furor about a certain breast cancer charity, let us not forget the founding purpose for these in the first place.  With that in mind, let's enjoy this artistic dedication bead that illustrates the future owner's commitment to the cause of fighting breast cancer and raising awareness:

Breast Cancer Survivor Goddess African American Glass Bead Focal - Holly's Folly Glass

Holly has these for sale in both her ArtFire and Etsy shops, and will even make them custom for your specifications (partial or full mastectomy, etc.).  Holly also offers 10% off the Bead of the Day, so order today if you can so you can get that discount. :)

Lampwork Bead of the Day - 2-7

I've long had a fascination with heart shaped glass beads but when I saw this bead by Kathleen of Ugly Duckling Beads, I knew I had to pick it for today's post! She's turned the heart into a ballarina!!!  Isn't it pretty??

 There still time to get a heart bead for your beloved in time for Valentine's Day ! ;-)

Glass Bead of the Day: Monday, February 6

Happy Monday!  Today I was enchanted by this gorgeous purple focal from Lara Lutrick:

Lara has really done something special with the colors on this bead, which she describes as a color-changing purple with brown raku scrolls.  See this and other gorgeous beads by Lara in her Etsy shop.  You can also find Lara's shop on ArtFire, and if you get this bead today, you can get Free Shipping as part of the Bead of the Day program!

Bead of the Day 2-2-12

I have been bummed out by the grey sky in my neck of the PNW this last week, so I wanted to find a bright and colorful bead of the day today and I found this bright green with black polka bead by Amy of Amy Sims Designs. This is a wonderful addition to any charm bracelet, and brings a fun splash of color. See the other coordinating beads Amy has in her Etsy shop below (I coudln't help myself and included the photos here). Amy also offers Free Shipping on Bead of the Day, so please send her a message to get the coupon code.

Lampwork Bead of the Day: February 1

New month and the days are getting longer. Today we actually had daylight for more than 8 hours!

February is the month for winter sports (at least in my country). And when you've been out all day in the snow, you wan't - hot cocoa!

Doesn't this set of beads remind you of hot cocoa with wipped cream?

Brown Topaz Wrapped Ivory Spacers

I think they look totally yummy. Barb from River's Edge Glass made them and you can find them in her ArtFire shop.
