Amazing Pink Beads & Designer Shout-Out

From a distance these amazingly pink sparkly beads seem to be covered in glitter or crystals. SURPRISINGLY, upon much closer observation, I have discovered they are covered in rounded clear glass flat-back beads.

I never would have guessed that they are rounded clear beads! They seem so crystally!

I love optical illusions and think this one definitely qualifies. I still can't figure out why it looks so glittery from a distance! I guess there are some things we just don't NEED to know! :)

And now, a special note to all of you bead designers out there...

BEAD DESIGNER SHOUT-OUT!!

To all of the wonderful bead designers who use glass, resin, polymer clay, etc. to create unique works of art that jewelry designers can use in their work, I am looking for a number of people to showcase here on A Bead A Day for the remainder of the summer!

Jewelry designers are always looking for new and unique pieces and I'd like to help them find you and your work.

If you would like to be featured here, just send me an email at abeadaday@sbcgobal.net.

Thanks so much!
