Hi, this is Julie with Beadaholique.com and this video is a first in a new series we're doing called show and tell and basically it's what it sounds like. I wanna be able to show you in person via video what one of our new product offerings looks like and these here are czech glass snake beads. They're a part of the round fire polish family and they are gorgeous to me. They almost look like a ceramic bead that has a glaze over them because you'll see when I'll pull one here, that the finish is almost as if like a wash a lighter color has been put over a black background see the black is really coming through and creating this great snake or fish net pattern. These come in a wide variety of colors, you'll see here the different color range that they're currently available in and most of them are gonna come in a six millimeter one, an eight millimeter, an ten millimeter and on a couple of the mixes you're are also gonna get a 12 millimeter size and speaking of mixes we've got this wonderful purple and red mix, we've got an earth tone mix and then we also have a blue mix. I got this one here which is kinda like a blue green combination, Those are really fun there's so much you can do. You can take them apart and do something like this example here where we've taken little eye pins put it through each bead and created a simple wire loop on the other end and I have created a chain out of them it's fun to do with the mixes or you can just take them, put them on hoop earrings. Here's a really simple pair of earrings that were created a lot of different things you can do with these to work into your jewelry designs and one thing I do wanna point out is they got nice weight to them because they are a glass bead they're really nice and solid they're a very good quality let me put these back and then I'm gonna scan the colors real quick with you so you can see that so start with like this dusty rose pink almost has a purple in it got this beautiful vibrant red here we're getting into the green family, it's like a bluish green progress into some earth tones, lovely various shades of blue a nice blue mix and then we go into the purples and the fuchsias so a lot of different colors to choose from and they'll all be found on our website beadaholique.com Go to www.beadaholique.com to purchase beading supplies and to get design ideas!
