Orange beads, believe it or not, are a colour of bead I used to love to hate. So in my Addicted to Beads theme orange is something that previously NEVER would have been mentioned, let alone featured.
I'm not sure when the change to love to love happened, I'd always had one orange bead, 6th from right called Pumpkin as I'd bought that quite early on... but it remained my only orange bead for several years.
I think the main shift in my thinking came about when the two types of orange glass faceted beads, (L-R) No's 4,6,10 & 13 were released as part of a Fall Collection, I adored them!
Then followed No.11 an orange flower bead on an almost tie-dyed background... then the Carnelian stone faceted beads, No.3 & 12 and so it continued.
I use the orange beads quite a lot, in fact I had to dismantle one of my favourite bracelets to photograph several of these!
I love this mix of orange with black, green and grey, a great mix of glass, silver and stones.

Have you had any Love to Hate moments/things/themes turn into Love to Love ones?
