"Despite the forecast, live like it’s spring.” – Lilly Pulitzer

April is my birthday month and each year as it rolls around I hope for sunny days. Spring is always a time for change and new opportunities in my life and this month was no different.

To be honest, my day time role has shifted significantly and requires my mind and soul to reflect, refresh and recallibrate my daily cadence. I firmly believe change is good and meant to be so it is important to embrace it body and soul!

It has limited my time in the glass studio so I have just a few new bead sets to share today. 

In this post, all the beads are big hole beads that will fit on traditional "P" style bracelets or a simple chain or leather necklace.

First up, a focal storm bead with coordinated beads and metal spacers.

The base glass is Vetrofond 994 Strawberry Sweet, a reddish brown opaque. 

Layers of dark ivory, CiM Lapis and Double Helix Terra 2 is capped under clear glass portals. 

Double Helix Aurae dots highlight the focal bead with a metallic shine.

This Vetrofond glass was part of a Nortel Odd Lots special that I was lucky to snag before it was all gone!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I look forward to sharing more bead sets in future blog posts this month!

Smiles,

Darlene
