The listing, Spring Goddess De-Stash: 300+ beads in Jades, Quartzes and Crystal Glass has ended.
A springtime explosion of natural gemstones and glass, in a mix of beads that are shimmering shades of heaven and earth ... plus two (last-minute) "Winner's Prizes!"
Here are the contents of the original auction:
An 11-12" strand (about 80 teardrops) of avocado aventurine
a 10-11" strand (about 70 teardrops) of clear/snow quartz
30+ kiwi (glass or stone?) rounds (6 mm)
30+ pea green (glass or stone?) rounds (4 mm)
75 jade and "new jade" cylinders (4-6 mm) in a mixture of cream through dark green, and...
33 "Heavenly Saturn" glass crystal-clear beads with silver-spun rings
Whew!
And now, three more festive "Winner's Gift Bags!"
When I went to bed last night, I kept thinking about my "Spring Goddess" auction, and how the colors were exquisite but soft and muted. So, this morning, I went and grabbed some bright springy cheerful beads -- even a couple floral ones -- and added them in as gifts to the winner. The two last photos show a collection of larger beads (6-12 mm?) -- all glass, ceramic, crystal and ceramic hand-painted. The two little bags are a heaping teaspoon of tiny green seed beeds and a couple teaspoons of milky, moonstone-like /glimmering acrylic beads.
OK: NOW, I'm satisfied to call this a "spring explosion!"
peace and joy to you, this spring! I live in Michigan and am just praying it SOMEDAY COMES!!! LOL
