Beads of the Month: Zen Gardening with Beads

If you haven't started a garden yet, or don't even intend to, you can always enjoy the beauty of gemstones that come from the earth. And this month, we're featuring luscious spring-into-summer colors and sophisticated shapes, in treasures of the earth brought to you straight from our latest shopping adventure in the Big Apple.

The Bead of the Month page on the website has inspirations we gathered by playing with these tempting pieces- check it out!

Or click on the slideshow on the left for a close-up preview some rare bead inspiration in Charoite, Rhodochrosite, Peruvian Opal, Tourmaline, Blue and Red Sponge Coral, Turquoise, Chalk Turquoise, Blue Lace Agate, Sodalite, Lapis Lazuli and more! Then come in quickly and snap some up before they're gone!

You Can Take it With You...

Is it just me, or does everyone feel more mobile in the Spring? I just want to get out into Nature and bead- or at least to some stable surface in the outdoors. Natural daylight is wonderful for your beading!! You will see things and put colors together that you would never appreciate in man-made light.

So, to help you, pick up one of these amazing little BeadSmith kits full of all the beading tools you'll need on the go or in your studio. Look at all the great colors (those shown here, plus black) they come in!
Neat, tucked-in safely, and ready to go with you into the new season! And a bargain at $35!
