| Czech Glass in 3mm, Honeycomb, 4mm and Superduos |
It's not everyday that I can drool over new beads all in my favorite colorways...sea green, mossy brown, deep teal. Nothing captures my imagination like a good Picasso Green. I've been in love with ocean colors since I first set eyes on the deep, rough waters off the coast of Big Sur. And I'm an absolute pushover for anything pebbled with brown.
I've talked a bit about how the Czech glassmakers are on fire. They really are. There has been a resurgence in glass from the Czech Republic for about 8 years now. It's so popular that Miyuki Beads of Japan ships its seed beads over to have them coated because no one can mimic them. That's pretty crazy! But seriously, there are some very talented artists coming up with these new beads and coatings. I love beads in all colors and I do my best to always find the unusual in every hue, but sometimes it's so hard for me to look beyond green.....
Read more about Czech Glass and the Precosia Company, the leader in the renaissance in glass beadmaking. I think you might, like me, have a greater appreciation for the under-rated, taken-for-granted, affordable, Czech Glass Bead. It's really on a trajectory to stardom, if it isn't there already.
I tend to buy my beads over a month or two before I visit the US each year and I always say to myself well.. next year you won't have to buy much as you already have so many different beads and colors. Then we get the new colors! Then we get new finishes! Then we get new shapes! So off we go again, our minds turning over thinking about designs we can use and which colors will go with what! My favorite colors are browns and turquoise.. turquoise Picasso and turquoise moon dust - yum!
