Trollbeads Spring 2012 release sneak peek - all pics!

Thank you so much for all the beautiful pics!
I'm so excited by this release! I love flowers so all of those are on my list! I really like the creams and the small silver flower is a must.
I'm sorry to go against the grain, but I quite like the tea cup. I don't have the WT one, and agree one is enough. It'll depend on size/price.
I LOVE the Midnight Flower pendant!!

Wow.
Another great scoop.
Thanks to Sherlock and Sita.

I must take it slow, this year.
Not go

I love the midnight flower pendant too, it is a must for me. Speaking of pendants, could it be that we will see a new Fantasy Necklace? the image on the bottom row, extreme left looks like a new detailed flower inside the current large Shadow Flower.

I'm almost alone here - I keep going back to the Kugelhopf (that's what we call that type of cake) and the tea cup. I love them! The texture of both will look wonderful on a bracelet. And yes, I did just have breakfast and a coffee

I do think the bundt/kugelhopf cake bead could be an interesting shape for a bracelet, maybe at the ends, depending on its size. Or put two together, flat to flat, or with a glass bead between them. So it has design possibilities. But not much meaning to me.

Available to all members now!

Thank you so much for the sneak peek!

Love the colors of the glass. Excited to see them IRL! Thanks for sharing and allowing us to start plotting and planning early on.

Looking closer now.....I don't quite understand the logic of 2 cups. Is one for coffee and one for tea? I love the Austria WT Melange cup and bought several. Maybe TB HQ's long-range plan is an all-cup bracelet???

For those who are in their cups . . .

Yip!!!

(P.S. When do I get to be a BeadWrangler??? I wrangle beads every day and I deserve some credit for it!!! )

Thank you...I love the opportunity to see everything before I shop.

If LindaJo doesn't object I'm happy to appoint you BeadWrangler too

Thank you for the detailed pictures! Love the griffin/gryphon and the cream dillo We were due for more creams (and dillos). Great designs on the silver barrels but really not sure about the barrel shapes. Shades of Pandora? Not keen on green but I do like the teardrop pendant shape. on a necklace. Hope there will be more of this shape to come. Kinda glad after all the splurging lately and these will be around for a while.

I could LOVE this green or hate it. Could go either way. HAVE to see them in real life, though.

Thanks for sharing pics. Love the black agates, the cream glass and the Griffin....not so sure about the rest, perhaps a pendant...

That is a wonderful idea

Would love that one as a bead)!

TB has done it again!

I am quite sure it was an earing SM. I agree ... TB has done it again
I think the suggested price for the Pheonix was 69.00 US (don't count that 100% but I think that is what I heard)

Actually, after comparing, I have to say I much prefer the Faerybeads Griffin (clay model) to the TB Griffin:) So is TB's really a griffin or a Phoenix, I wonder?

I would buy the bundt pan over most of the silvers. My grandmother always made me lemon cake in a bundt pan. When I visited her house (age 4 and under), I would peek around the corner to see if there was a cake on her buffet table. A strong and wonderful memory! This purchase can wait, as I swore off any new bead purchases for months!

Oh, I wouldn't want to detract from the honor of "BeadWrangler" enjoyed by all the others who have posted THOUSANDS of times. I'll humbly wait my turn.

But in anticipation of the day, however far off, when I too will be bestowed with the honorable title BeadWrangler, I have composed my beadwranglin' theme song (sung to the theme of the old US TV show "Rawhide" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSHr4ubuD64 ):

Buyin', buyin', buyin'
Though my hubby's sighin'
Keep them new beads comin'—MORE BEADS!

Through checks and cash and cc's,
Hell-bent for new beads,
Wishin' my bank account was huge!
All the things I'm missin'—
Dinners out, new clothes, and kissin'—
Will ne'er be mine until I stop buyin'!

Wrap 'em up, ship 'em here!
Ship 'em here, wrap 'em up!
Wrap 'em up, ship 'em here! MORE BEADS!

Put 'em on, show 'em off!
Show 'em off, put 'em on!
Put 'em on, show 'em off—MORE BEADS!!! MORE BEADS!!!

Thanks so much for the sneak peaks!

I love the song, Hayseed!

BeadWrangler was a title I made up myself, it has nothing to do with the number of posts. More with using various brands of beads together, not just Troll. So you can't be a beadwrangler if you're a Trollbeads purist.
I had to meet a challenge from Admin first, though. Something about posting a bracelet with at least 5 different brands of beads on it. I'll try and find that challenge post again tomorrow, I'm not coming up with it quickly tonight.

Thank you so much. Love the running bunny a few of the glass and the small flower coffee mug and need to see the barrels up close and personal. I wonder if the agates will. E sold as singles? Hmmmm goingto be an expensive spring !!
