Trollbeads Spring Collection 2015

So yesterday saw the official debut of the Spring Collection from Trollbeads, and as Curling Stones tradition dictates here is my collage made up from Trollbeads Stock Photos!

Trollbeads Spring Collection 2015

As you can see from the size of the collage, it was a mammoth release!  2 glass kits (6 to a kit), 4 new style hematite beads, 1 glow in the dark bead, 2 new leathers, 4 rings, 1 lock and another 23 silver pieces including beads and pendants.  Phew!

I've got the Spring Collection in my hand!!

"I've got the whole collection in my hands, I've got the whole wide collection in my hands..." okay so I actually took this photo at Trollbeads Cambridge's Spring Collection Preview Event, and they were only in my hands for a while... and I'm not holding the leathers or the rings as I'm also taking the photo and I only have two hands... but I hear the song in my head everytime I look at this picture!

I'd restricted myself to preorder only 3 beads from the new collection and these were my top picks from the Preview Evening.

Blue Hematites with Path of Life

The hematite beads were simply stunning, I fell in love with the blue ones in particular and definitely needed a pair... actually I need a lot more than a pair, and more colours, but 2 Blue Hematites will do for starters.

The silver bead, Path of Life, is one that I'd not paid as much attention to initially from the stock photos - but as soon as I saw the bead - it went from a not on my list to top of it!

I have a much longer wishlist from this collection and I will tell you all about that another day; for now, I just wanted to show you a photo of my newly arrived, still in the box, lovely new beads!

What are your favourites from the New Collection?

Trollbead Collection Collages

Collages are something I create from time to time, in the blog it's a way to share a lot of photos in one image so as not to clog up the layout, but often I do them just for fun.

I started with the newly debuted Spring Collection from Friday.

Of course once I'd done one, I thought it would be fun to do some other Collections as well, working backwards here is Christmas.

Christmas Collection 2013

I tried to include Flowers of the Month within the full Fall Collection but the result was quite messy so I've split the Collection up as a result.

And finally the Traditionally Sayings Collection from the recent People's Bead Contest

Or almost finally, as Trollbeads have just recently updated their website to include some (but not all) of the recent limited editions I couldn't resist one final collage to finish this post with.

Hope you like them, I think I'm going to keep them as a handy reference guide for when I forget which bead debuted in which collection!
