Trollbeads Fall 2013 sneak peek

Thanks so much for the "sneak peek"!  I love the flowers and the glass is a different twist for Trollbeads.  I know I am in trouble now!

I'm wondering if the Bindweed is really supposed to be Morning Glory. Same plant family. Gardeners?

For sure. When I ooh'ed and ah'ed over a wild morning glory flower I found along a river bank when I was a child, my sister - the pedantic -  told me that in Europe it was called bindweed, and was considered an annoying weed.

It comes in pink and blue also and is then not a weed. Mine died  

thank you very much for the sneek peak!  
To be honest - nothing in this release really crys out to me. Some things do look interesting but I can´t think of how to put them into my bracelets. What does packman has to do with TB themes?  
As with the last releases - the WOW is still missing even so they did improve. Maybe one or two flower beads becomes interesting - but, haven´t I got enough flower beads already??

Never encourage the white type to grow in your garden or even tolerate it.  It will get completely out of control and be a curse on your life.  I thought it was pretty at first and learnt the lesson the bad way.

If they use a lapis lazuli with low quality, then they have a lot of white in it....you don,t want that.

The skeleton will probably join both my and my husbands collection! The engraved glass looks interesting as well as the green/yellow glass. The silver flowers do look nice, but I have to see them in real life to decide whether one will join my collection or not. The lock also looks nicely done!

Thank you so much for the sneak peek!

     That sounds interesting  

The new silver (except the skeleton) WTF !

The Purple Heaven kit looks good, will have to see the Native Elements in person, the flowers are much better than expected, but would have been better still without pearls

Thanks for the pictures  

I really like that new beads especially the silver flowers, they could look good with the fairy necklace. I also like the carved beads and the flower kit. I am afraid about what the prices would be the silver's flowers and carved beads would probably be expensive :-(

Well the Pearls will probably fall off anyway so don't worry!
I like that the flowers are unsymetrical. Seems so much more Troll imo.
And I hope that the Pearls will stay on and that they have placed them more secure in these beads. I don't mind the Pearls, am I the only one?  

It would have been nice not only to use pearls, but other also other stones (thinking of the old retired zodiac stars).
E.g. a red carnelian would be great with the poppy or an aquamarine or a flashy lab to go with the waterlily.
Now there's a plan, just in case that the pearl will fall off

Great plan!

What a huge release I LOVE the 2 Engraved Azure  
The other glassbeads are pretty but nothing for me *phu*
The new lock is stunning but looks a bit small but i guess i will definately buy it
The monthly flowers are really nice and i do not like pearls especially the Violet of Februrary
and last but not least the SAPHIRE FINALLY!!!!
The picture is really nice but i hope he will be more blue in real life

Wow nice to see this collection!!! Thanks for sharing

So far, the "starved" spirit of Freedom is my only choice. I am curious about the stones not yet shown but the facets they will sport have already put me right off. wishing TB would issue more stones in a smooth style... 

Not sure if these are stones, I think is facetted glass like the LE that was recently released?

I love the pearls in the silver flower collection, to me it looks as if they placed them in places that are well protected, they have a wide silver collar around the pearl, I think they will be fine but time will tell, there are sure to be a few that come out  Overall I love this release; the troll designers never seize to surprise me with their creativity!! Can't wait for them to be available:)

It must be a northern thing then.

I love the pearls but do worry about how secure they will be xxx But def two silver flowers with pearls at least for me x

I can definitely confirm that there are two facetted glassbeads, called marsala and saffron.

If the Saffron looks anything like the image that I have in my head, I need it. Badly.

I agree, those sound really interesting... A bit of Indian species, just imagine the colors
