My exact thoughts too  

And mine three!
And the engraved bead just looks kitschy and tacky to me, sorry  ...
So far only the graphic glass from the first pic for me, but you never know after seeing them IRL. Big thanks to our Sherlocks though for showing!

Oh good, I may buy another bead this year after all!  

I like poor starved Spirit, which is a first for me (Fleur: I expect he tied his feet in a knot doing his yoga exercises wrong, couldn't get up from the floor and resigned to his death  )

The lock looks interesting too, and if it's representing water, it's a must-have for me.

That etched-glass flower though - don't know about your parts of the world, but it reminds me of  flowers and ornaments in that style carved in smooth shiny marble at some of the old fashioned undertakers' parlours  so I guess skelly and undertakers' etched flower are part of the Halloween release.  

SQUEEEEEEEEEESKELLLLLLLY!!!  Love it!!!       

Thank you for the new photo Sherlock  

Am I the only one with nothing so far on my wish list?

oh my God! an undertaker's bead, next year we might get the coffin...  

I love the skeleton, not so sure about the lock or the etched bead without seeing them IRL. Skelly looks very cool, imho:) Thanks so much for the sneak peek, Sherlock!

Yes! I knew something about it left me a bit cold, that's exactly what it is! Thank you for clearing that up, I was thinking paperweights but couldn't understand why that made me not like it  

I love skellie though, I find him rather elegant and drapey and love the laid back, just chillin, watching the world go by posture

The lock's looking hopeful too, it made me think of a whale's head and eye  

I think Skelly's an excellent memento mori, just perfect for Halloween.

Spirit of Freedom starved or subject to atom bomb.

I agree but, I also kinda think I like him. He'll be the only new release I seek out though.

I love that engraved glass, very beautiful...and skelly will come here to.
Thank you for the picture, cannot wait to buy these.

Oh dear, someone's pinned it. http://pinterest.com/pin/13299761372897168/

Does that mean I can repin it?

Well, that wasn't cool. Hope BT doesn't get into trouble. Does anyone know the person who pinned it to ask her to remove the picture?

I like the lock but it could be that there haven't been any imaginative locks recently. Just a tad worried about the somewhat thick-looking end fitting into the bracelet end loops. Have to see the etched bead in person since I'm a sucker for anything purple. No skellies for me, anorexic or not.

Wow! I love these beads x

Looking at the pic it seems that the carved glass has a gold core, did anybody else get the same impression?

I meant to say the engraved azure glass bead!

I see what you're saying.   Very interesting.

yes I thought that, but though I was seeing things. Maybe not.

I must have that skeleton bead to go with my skellys. I also think the carved bead has a good core.

I kinda doubt it, since you wouldn't be able to see the core, unlike with the gold core diamond bead. Come to think of it, can't really see the core well in that one either.

Thanks for sharing Sita and Sherlock!

Wow! These beads are great! The skeleton is also a nice addition for Halloween. Oh, this release is going to be a real treat.

I do hope so - because that would mean that I could cross it off my wish list and be back down to 100% unwanted again. Gold cores on glass are just so stupid.

Has this been reported yet?

WOW, I really like these 3 beads!!!! The skeleton is definitely on my list, I need another lock and the carved glass is awesome!!

No. I posted the details here, so the Mods could see it.

And the link is to the original pinner, so she must be a member here.
I wanted to give her a chance to rectify her mistake. Also, I didn't want to get her in hot water with pinterest, as she might not understand why we would have a problem with it.
