I'm so happy, I just passed the 100 post mark today, so I can have a look and spend the next hour staring at the screen and dreaming and drooling! Thank you!

Thank you so much for these early pictures! I'm afraid there's a lot more of the new release I like than I had wished for taking into account that I have decided to seriously slow down buying beads this year.

What I'm most interested in atm is the flower left in the bottom row. I hope it will be some kind of earring to be worn with shadow flower.

Wow, I love all of the caramel and cream colored beads on the top row! As far as the silver I am a little disappointed. I have to see what the teacup and saucer look like in person, I think that bead might add a nice texture to a bracelet.

Thank you for all your efforts & bringing these fabulous pictures to us so we can start planning what to buy first!!! Smile

I agree, thank you so much for these pictures Very Happy

Thanks for the pictures ! Can't wait for this release (I even like the cups)

I can now understand why TB is retiring so many brown beads, with all these new brown and cream ones coming out. The new 'dillos are jumping up and down for my attention and if four of each don't make it into my collection at the next trunk sale - buy 3, get four - then it will because of a total blizzard keeping me trapped in the house for those days in February.

I compared the picture of the new magical creature and I think it looks like Buckbeak, the hippogriff from Harry Potter. In any case, it will also join my collection as soon as I can get it.

I just wish I still had my bead money job. Oh well one trunk sale at a time.

You are so right! He would look perfect on a Harry Potter themed bracelet! I think I might need him too, I am just curious to see how large he is.

by Pond Fri Jan 20, 2012 5:09 pm

Mr Pond lives on coffee so I know I'll be getting the mug and probably the cup and saucer. Reminder to self, pick up a couple Mocha beads before the silver price jump next Friday.

I was lucky to have a quick look at the new beads today, don't want to get in trouble so won't say too much but they are really lovely especially the two dillos bounce

Are the Barrel Beads and the Griffon quite solidly made or are they thin and hollow?

by cyberfairy Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:35 pm

The griffin looks smaller than I thought. It looks as if the chain goes through his back. I still love him though and I think he will be my first bead from this release.

by Louey Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:40 pm

They looked solid, the barrels are quite large though.
Sorry didn't pay much attentionto the Griffin as it doen't really appeal to me Very Happy

Is he the same size as the Decorative Bird?

Is there another bead of a similar size that you can compare them to?

I would say about a similar size as a silver /gold daisy but obviously barrel shaped Smile

by Brightonbelle Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:50 pm

Thanks for the info.

by gabi Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:52 pm

Thank you for the pics! I am sure i must have the barrel with birds or cranes? I can't exactly see
what kind it is, but i like it............................

If LindaJo doesn't object I'm happy to appoint you BeadWrangler too

Oh, I wouldn't want to detract from the honor of "BeadWrangler" enjoyed by all the others who have posted THOUSANDS of times. I'll humbly wait my turn.

But in anticipation of the day, however far off, when I too will be bestowed with the honorable title BeadWrangler, I have composed my beadwranglin' theme song (sung to the theme of the old US TV show "Rawhide" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSHr4ubuD64 ):

Buyin', buyin', buyin'
Though my hubby's sighin'
Keep them new beads comin'—MORE BEADS!

Through checks and cash and cc's,
Hell-bent for new beads,
Wishin' my bank account was huge!
All the things I'm missin'—
Dinners out, new clothes, and kissin'—
Will ne'er be mine until I stop buyin'!

Wrap 'em up, ship 'em here!
Ship 'em here, wrap 'em up!
Wrap 'em up, ship 'em here! MORE BEADS!

Put 'em on, show 'em off!
Show 'em off, put 'em on!
Put 'em on, show 'em off—MORE BEADS!!! MORE BEADS!!!

Well, done!
I was indeed, like LindaJo mentioned, thinking up a challenge but this admission request pleased very much too. Request granted!

OH MY!!!

Am I truly a BeadWrangler now?!?!? cyclops

Thank you so much, Sita and LindaJo!!! Excited

My cup runneth over with BeadThrilled JOY today!!! sunny

Okay, pardners, let's saddle up and wrangle some beads today! HYAH!!! Whip

I don't get this? People with very few posts are here too and comment on the pics, so it can't be the 100 post mark to be able to see this, can it?

It was originally for established members only but it has since been made available for everyone to view.

I am looking forward to seeing these IRL on our beadcrawl day on 4th. Cream dillo will be a must - and wave later - reserving judgement on all the rest as to whether I will actually get them!

I agree with Grumpy that TB HQ must be reading the Forums!! Very Happy
