Bead Table Member Alley Mori came to visit us in February, and it was a whirlwind week of inspiring projects, mixes, and more! We are so pleased to offer you this magnificent mix curated by Alley herself. Faye, another Bead Table member, often posts inspirational photos to get us beading and thinking of color, and one particular painting by Stev’nn Hall really got the creative juices flowing. His colorful pond lilies offers a peek into a fantastical world we all wish we could live in! Alley selected colors from the painting’s palette...deep purples, pinks, blues, and greens...isn’t it just a dream? The surface of the water is a perfect kaleidoscope of color, and this mix is a gorgeous tribute. Each bead was chosen with care for its color, size, and shape. Because this is a limited-edition mix, we recommend that you purchase when the mix is available at the beginning of the month...they go fast! If you would like to recreate the mix, the beads Alley used are: 6-4244 Duracoat S/L Dyed Persimmon 6-642-TB Dyed Salmon S/L Alabaster 6-4248-TB Duracoat S/L Dyed Dark Lilac 6-149FR Matte Transparent Aqua AB 8-149FR Matte Transparent Capri Blue AB 8-412 Opaque Turquoise Green 8-460 Metallic Dark Raspberry 8-4238 Duracoat S/L Dyed Paris Pink If you were to purchase all the beads separately, the cost would be more than $39! This is a great way to try them all and have a special mix custom-blended right in our bead studio. We hope you enjoy Kaleidoscope as much as Alley did creating it. Sold by the tube of 20 grams. Mix may vary slightly from photograph.
