BTW 25th of July

This week I have a couple of stuff going on, on my beading table. I've been playing around with different color combinations on some older designs, heh.
I've also began to doodle out a design I'm going to create for a bead embroidery necklace, incorporating that brass collar I bought during spring this year. I'm thinking different shades of pink so far on this one, but we'll see.

Yesterday I also received my order I made last week with Bricolart.com . They have a big summer sale with up to 70% discount till the 31st of July, so I recommend you to take a look :)
I went crazy myself with some Swarovski rivolis; 0.46€ cent for the vitrail light, so I bought about 15 of those. And then a couple of topaz colored and since I love those light siam I bough a couple of those as well. And I've been curious about the "metallic gold iris #462" of the Miyuki seed beads, so I bough some 11/0, 15/0, 11/0 hex, 3mm bugles and tila beads in that color. Darn, they are so beautiful, and the iris effect is beautiful!

Bead Haul I

This month I've been sinning a bit more then usual...
I've made some minor bead orders and a bigger one that I would like to share with you here :)

Here are some freshwater pearls that I purchased from SilverSense. Each one of the strands are aprox 15inch.

And here are some storage tubes, a glass donut, goldstone chips, green turquoise chips and I've been wanting to get my hands on that Jewelry Shield for quite some time and now I have a bottle :) These are from Perles&Co.

 Here are some Swarovski sparkle that I had to stack up on; 3 and 4mm bicones, flowers in three different sizes, flat back cabs, pearls. I've been wanting to try out those neon pearls from Swarovski ever since they were released, so I bought some 4 and 8mm'ers and I must say that they are gorgeous and have such a vibrant color! These are from Perles&Co.

Here are some gemstones, mostly cabochons. I bought a gemstone mix that contains 50grams of assorted gemstone cabs, but besides that I bought some loose ones; rose quartz, abalone, sodalite, howlite, goldstone and tiger's eye. I think I managed to figure out some of the gemstones that were included in the mix; Rhodolite, Unakite, Zoisite, Serpentine and a fossilized squid is one. The light green one I have no idea what they can be... Any suggestions? :)
