Thinking of Holland...
This Spring the Netherlands offers again many events. Festivals, markets, parades, expositions and events are organised throughout the country in every season. But the largest national event is celebrated every year on 30 April: Queen's Day. It's a must to come and see Holland turn orange for this event! This year Queen's Day will be even more special when the new monarch’s investiture will occur on April 30, 2013.
Next to that after nearly 10 years of extensive renovation work, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has reopened its doors to the public on 13 April. The Rijksmuseum, is home to a magnificent collection of Dutch art and history. A few historical and cultural Dutch icons you must have seen:

- Rembrandt’s Night Watch (de Nachtwacht) is one of the most famous works by a Dutch master.
- Rijksmuseum has one of the finest collections with paintings by great masters of the 17th century, such as Frans Hals, Jan Steen, Vermeer and Rembrandt van Rijn.

Our 'Dutch Collection':
- 'Doorloper' skates inspired by paintings by Hendrick Avercamp (1585-1634) who painted the homely pleasures of winter. A bit ignoring its harshness back then without the comforts we have in our modern times. Skating is still a favorite custom in Winter at The Netherlands.
- Parrot tulip inspired by the tulips as painted by Jacob Marrel (1614–1681) After Rose, Tulip is currently one of the top 10 romantic flowers, representing perfect love.
- Trompe l'oeil a playful twist with the jug from 'The Milk Maid' by Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) and the frame of the painting.
- Beret inspired by berets worn and painted by Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) who is believed to have started a 'trend' amongst artists wearing a cap or rather a beret. The beret is part of the long-standing stereotype of the intellectual, film director, artist, "hipsters", poet, bohemians and beatniks.
Beads are available from May 3rd.
Glass beads from Christa/Luccicare.

You did a great job with these beads, it's really something else than the alltime tulips, cloggs and mills. I love the bead made after 'het melkmeisje'(I like Dutch names in this case more than French) and the baret. I would love to see the doorloper apart, can't see it properly on this chain.
And the tulip is gorgeous, although I hate tulips myself. But I know a lot of people love tulips. For every taste is a bead

Unusual and most beautiful, at first sight I am falling for Tulip and Beret, but looking at the picture several times, it would be soooo nice to have the whole collection, the framed jug-bead in rose-gold really is special and might grow on me!

My favourite is the tulip as well, it's so much more interesting than the Tb tulip (and I really liked that one too).

My favourite is definitely trompe-l'oeil, wow! The tulip is fantastic too! Like Tinka I would like to see the skates separately because I find them hard to make out in this picture. Congratulations on another wonderful 'line' of beads Faerybeads.

Congratulions with these truly new beads, really new designs. How does it work with the cup and frame? Does it flip over or does it stay in the way the picture shows?

Re: Thinking of Holland...
I'll be taking pictures tomorrow of the individual beads.
The trompe l'oeil bead's jug and frame are fixed. My original design was made of a separate jug and frame but it didn't look as intended on a chain.
