Bead Wish List: Swirls and Curls

A swirl is a very comforting shape. The organic, liquid flow of things like steam from a mug or bowl of soup, flames in the fireplace, and snow in the wind all have instant appeal to the natural side of our personalities. So it’s no wonder that swirl patterns are commonly found in beads!

From naturally occurring whorls to handmade swooshes, swirls are a bead’s best friend. Today, I tracked down some sensational beads with plenty of curls and curves.
