Fall release 2014

With the name "Spiritual Temple Lock," I was sure I wouldn't want it but now that I've seen it I love the graphic design. There's nothing about it that says anything religious: the wheel looks more like a shield or wagon wheel to me than anything Buddhist and I love the raised dots.

I agree. I love the graphic detail. This is on my wish list...possibly top on my list for locks.

Great campaign images   
I may like some of the silvers: labyrinth, dandelion, om, Ganesha, giant lotus, the lapis stone.     Still have to see them IRL.
Not impressed by the glass.

The bat, squirrel, and labyrinth for me, especially the bat.   
I thought I would like some of the spiritual ones better than I do. I don't think any of the glass is for me, I don't like faceted glass or stones.

I absolutely love the facet kit. They all look absolutely amazing. I also like a lot of the silvers especially the apple, the fawn, the squirrel and the labyrinth. The bats are also great.

A couple of years ago I desgined a labyrith coin bead for the People's bead contest that made it to the final list. I find I am a little bit dissappointed to see a labyrith bead released that much resembles a coin and has the same labyrith pattern mine had only they streched it out. Here is a photo of one side of my coins.

This was just posted on FB as a TB that will be available as part of the Launch event??only--I MUST have one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"A little disappointed" ? ? How about unethical?

This Eagle is amazing

The LD has to spend a certain amount in order to get these beads so they may not all stock them.

It wouldn't look so good if it hung upside down and I suspect that it might.  Maybe we need to do a bit of testing when it appears?

A real pity to see Budda under the tree with hearts... Either you are trollish or Pandora... that is an ibrid 

Ah but I visualise them as sinister bleeding hearts so very Trollish.  Now which book did I read that in?  Maybe it is a mixture of more than one story?  I see a field full of beautiful flowers and blue butterflies with a tree at the centre of it?  It is a trap - very hard to leave.

I think it is the linden tree a tree of love the leaf is heart shaped also.

Will be hunting for the eagle   
Not sure, if it will be available here in Europe too.
I can see it on a leather bracelet, so it won't turn and hang upside down like a bat.  

Love the eagle!!

WOW.... that eagle is amazing.... I want one         

So will this be in some shops on the 5th September?

At the moment it seems to be only available in the USA.

If the LD has to spend a certain amount, then my dealer will not be able to get it. She has a small shop and cannot afford to order large quantities--she didn't get that coral bead from the bohemian release because she didn't order enough. I don't like this pattern. I can see having a special bead for the "release event" to get people into the stores--but then it should be available to all the dealers that want to have an "event".

As far as hanging upside down--it probably does. The other eagle bead I have hangs upside down. The pointy wings also sometimes stab me in the wrist. Regardless, I am getting one, if I have to search the earth for it    Probably won't flip on the bangle--especially if worn alone.

Quite the prominent eagle. Look forward to seeing it in person.

My LD, in a tiny town & not able to spend big, is getting a few of the eagle, which she described as a "United States bead, Wings of Freedom."  The amount must be pretty small she had to spend.  If she has extras I will be offering to trollfairy  

Just read on ET that it should be available in Europe but slightly later than in the US.   

I really love this one and will try to get it, can wait for it to appear in Europe, but it proves, TB can do it (if they want!) hope they get back to such awesome designs and spare us the teddies, hearts and grandmothers with buns!

That's fantastic news. I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Good because I won't have anywhere near enough money on Sept 5 and someone else can test how well it flies and post pics.
