Hints of spring/summer '12 release

Will "taking lamp working to a new level" be enough to justify the rumored price increases?

Interesting article. Sounds exciting but we'll have to see.

For the price increase, there should be floating gold & silver flecks in the glass! LOL...

I'm excited; I love glass.

I do not now about that. I do now that to be £35 now for a normal unique glass bead is to much so any more price increase for a "new level lampwork bead" will be very to much. I think the artisan bead makers have got in to new levels all ready.

I zoomed the pic and I didn't see anything that looked like a new level of anything. The gold bead looks like a gold Zanzibar. The glass and stone look like all the other glass and stone with variations on colors. In fact, one of them looks exactly like the existing Gold Silver Trace.

I think under the photo it say that the beads are current ones

The picture is from the existing collection, they didn't release a sneak peak. Too bad!

Oh! Dopey me!!!

I'm intrigued

Intriguing, yes, BUT why couldn't these fab beads be priced at the Glass III prices?

Sounds very interesting, time to see them will be here before we know it!

I love the Festive Fancies combos but the prices do add up. Ten Victory and six onyx with tassels is a bit too much for me to spend in one go.

You like that one Carla, I think it's very boring
We usually come up with much more inspiring designs!

I've been so uninspired by the glass recently so this does sound promising. I'll be looking forward to seeing these new creations but if they are going to cost £35 a bead they will have to be very special to tempt me..... here's hoping that Troll will find their original design path and not wander from it.

Looking forward to seeing, what the “dramatic new techniques” will be
It sounds quite promising.......

Sound good, but like always...I have to see the beads first.

Now this

Lise Aagaard, is “taking lampworking to a new level with her latest glass creations”.

sure sounds like something extraordinary! But we are picky, so we want to see something really spectacular for the big bucks !!!
Let's wait and see !

I am wary that new technics will be excused to have new prices.

They will say anything for more $. So sad when Trollbeads has such loyal collectors who want to support them.
