Re: Trolbeads Fall Spiritual 2012 release sneak peek

No, never a religious symbol for me... The rosary is a total no-go for me!
I have been raised in christian (even catholic) belief, but spirituality isn't religion to me and I don't like to wear a cross as I don't think you can reduce the unbelievable mystery of our existence to only one religion. And I also have problems with the cross as a symbol for my 'given' religion... It's an instrument of torture! What if Jesus had been killed through a guillotine, centuries later, would I wear that? I can more accept the Ichtys fish symbol many christians choose instead. Sorry this might sound blasphemic to many of you, it's just my personal opinion and I respect everybody's choice to wear or not to wear religious symbols!

The curled feather is a very nice one! I might consider buying it, if that design is turned into a real bead.

Also I think the last bead it looks a like the eagle or dove desin from a angle. If it is feathers again we have angel feathers all ready. I hope it will be more sculptured like the drawing if it is made.
Does any one see what is the hidden silver? can it be the angels head by Simona?

I am the exact opposite of a spiritual person but some of these designs look promising. Are they to be part of the permanent collection?

After having little to no religious education, I started at my first Catholic school aged 9. I walked into the Great Hall to see a massive (10 foot) cross hung on the wall. My first thought was, ....oooh is that what happens if you don't do your homework? Shocked

are those new stones, prisms?????

by Pandabee(uk) Mon Jul 23, 2012 3:06 pm

I really want that first prism, by the feathers, to be new. But I think it's just a turquoise prism.

by TrollBlossom Mon Jul 23, 2012 3:08 pm

I don't think that there are any new prisms. Possibly just two new glass beads.

by soxfan Mon Jul 23, 2012 3:09 pm

that's disappointing. TWO glass beads? I love troll glass....

by Carla Mon Jul 23, 2012 3:41 pm

Is that a new prism I see or just a green one? I live in hope...

Love the Onyx FN. I will layer it with my pearl.

by TinaLee Mon Jul 23, 2012 4:43 pm

There are some interesting silvers here! I guess I have to dig under the couch cushions again.

by Trollingmaniac Mon Jul 23, 2012 4:45 pm

They look amazing! So excited!

by Kathleen Mon Jul 23, 2012 5:03 pm

These are great beads to see.
I think i hide myself in august.
This is only the beginning ,what must the fall release bring out bounce

I don't need another bracelet anymore cyclops

by Michelle Mon Jul 23, 2012 5:11 pm

I"m thinking of the glass bead will be good with my mountain crystal beads. The feather bead is much more better I like this.

by Anita Mon Jul 23, 2012 5:14 pm

The improved pictures are still not exciting me, if anything I see different takes on beads already in the collection, feathers and is that a heart on the bead between the Amazonite and Milky Quartz. These do not say spiritual to me, they say popular conception of spiritual. I feel that there were some truly outstanding and original designs submitted and Trollbeads have played safe yet again.

Feathers are used by shamans spiritualy. Feather colors have meanings also I just like the desin.

I really like the Pandora rolled feather so am not drawn to buy this one.

I would like a couple more viking themed beads (Sleipnir, Raven), some new sealife beads (seahorse, octopus), dillos (pastel) and more two toned prisms (any) .....and caterpillars (any).....and vines (any)....sigh Wink

But the dragon looks more and more like the soup dragon...
