Presenting - Elfbeads Spark in the Dark Collection.

Elfbeads in November released a great collection of glass beads - Spark in the dark.  They GLOW.  You read that right - glow in the dark beads.  There were several released and through out my postings I will be highlighting a few of them as to not overwhelm you.  This is the Midnight Duck on a white base.  The base is what glows and is soooooo cool.

Everyone likes things that glow.  Nail polish, necklaces, bracelets and now we have beads.

Glowing in the dark, also called luminescence, usually is a simple matter of chemistry. Certain chemicals store energy when exposed to light, then slowly release that energy, which causes them to emit a small amount of light and thus glow. Other chemicals will react with each other, causing their electrons to become excited, and they will glow as those electrons release energy. Radioactive elements also can be used to make things glow. These three ways that things glow in the dark are known as phosphorescence, chemiluminescence and radioluminescence.

Thanks for joining us today and remember - don't let anything dull your...

Trollbeads Green Armadillo - Retired.

Trollbeads Green Armadillos - Retired a few years ago. -
There is an old Indian prayer to the armadillo, which says "Protect my borders, teach me my shield, reflect my pain so I do not yield".  Trollbeads released Orange, blue, black, purple ones.

Armadillos are New World placental mammals with a leathery armour shell.  They are for protection, 

Armadillo shells have traditionally been used to make the back of the charango, an Andean lute instrument

Armadillo shells are so strong that two people have been reported as being injured by bullets ricocheting off armadillos' shells.[

Each bead is different in size and color, just like the real life armadillos.  All Glass Trollbeads have a 925 sterling silver cord and will fit on Troll like chains only. They retail for $34.00 but I have these last 3 on sale for $25.00 each.  That is a great deal.  Coming into Spring, you will need greens and yellows to help push away those winter blues.  I use what ever I have in  my arsenal and if it's on sale - that is even better.  Send me a message if this is something you are looking for.

Come back  tomorrow - you never know what I will be posting about !!! Well Beads of course.

Thanks - Never let anyone dull your sparkle. - MK

 

Beads on Sale - Retired Beads that it.

If you are looking for a deal - We have some beads that have been retired by Trollbeads and you are here at just the right time.  Troll beads is a danish company and at times, beads get retired and that makes them more desirable.  Is this something that I want... Is this something that I NEED.  I am never sure if NEED needs to be stated here, but it works.  

I love the different colors and always looking for that next spectacular bead to complete by outfit.  It may be on a ring, a bracelet or necklace so I just keep looking.

I will try to post beads daily but sometimes life and work gets in the way of my postings.  New Day, New Year - I am here trying.  

Lets get started.  For my Bead on Sale Today !!!

What a beauty - This is Trollbeads Stripe of Fashion.  #63219-1 A new pallet of colours is needed, when the late summery days in fall turn into winter.  Murano glass bead with 925 sterling silver core.  This is the exact bead you would be purchasing.

It's multicolored so you have plenty of outfits this can be worn with.  It retired a few years ago and retails for $34.00.  THIS weekend you can purchase this bead for $19.95 plus $3.00 shipping in the US and $6.00 WW.

What does fashion say for you?  Great question.  What colors will you change to in the Spring?  Do you change your hair style or color?  I do and love that people don't always know who I am.  LOVE IT!!! Hope you have a great Friday and check back or better yet - follow me.  

Trolling for Halloween beads

This is my current Halloween Trollbeads bracelet.   I have added the Valentine Love, red to the clasp to add more color.   I also used the Limited release of the Trollbeads babys breath bead to the ends.  I have the Snake, the angel / devil, big cat, skeleton spirit, spider, pumpkin, skull, dragon.  The skeleton spirit is flanked by the belly chakra and the black/gold.  I then chose several orange and black beads.  I of course have the glow in the dark Trollbead.  

I will try to post more daily.
