I have some more fantastic beads to giveaway! After all of the time I’ve spent hoarding these baubles, it’s surprisingly liberating to send them off to new homes. This next set is actually a combination of two small collections.
First, we have some delightful round nuggets that have a spotted pattern in brown and gold, like a pretty leopard coat. They range in size from about 10 to 14 mm, and have a lovely, organic shape.
The blue beads are some of my all time favorites. Many of them ended up in my special stash because their speckled finish resembles lapis lazuli - an Egyptian favorite. There are a few acrylic cabochons in the set, as well as some cobalt and turquoise blue pieces.
How to Enter:
For a chance to win all of the beads shown, leave a comment on this post, and answer the following question:
What is your favorite animal print for beads, fashion, or décor?
One lucky winner will be drawn at random on Wednesday, February 22nd. If you don’t have a Blogger profile with email contact enabled, please be sure to leave a contact link in your comment, so I can get in touch with you if you win! This giveaway is open to readers from Canada and the US.
Good luck, and happy beading!

What pretty beads! Thanks for the chance to win. My favorite print is leopard in black and white.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous beads! I love the rich colors.
ReplyDeleteFor animal prints, I would have to go with something striped.
Have a great weekend.
Zebra is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite animal print comes from the giraffe. It's a nice big print but yet each "dot" is not the same nor symmetrical. These beads look like they are a lot of fun. Thanks for the chance to win them!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 favorite--I like zebra and leopard--actually I like any of the felines plus the zebra!
ReplyDeleteThose lapis type beads are awesome! I would still be hoarding them :) My favorite animal print is zebra striped. Can't go wrong with black and white! Have a great weekend, Morti!
ReplyDeleteNice! my fave animal print is Dalmatian.

I like leopard print, I love the brown and gold combination
ReplyDeleteI would have to say the Jaguar because of their yellow to gold coat with black rosettes. The black markings remind me of a paw print. I also like that their under belly is much lighter almost white with black. Overall they are a classy big (and fast) feline with classic coloring that remains forever in style.

Wow, I've never thought of that before. It's a really cool question. I think my favorite would have to be zebra. I like the contrast with the black and the white. Simple and elegant.
ReplyDeleteanimal print? that is hard... I would have to say zebra for decor. as for jewelry, I am not sure...
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing set you have there! I would love it!
ReplyDeletei can't choose between tiger or cow...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beads! My favorite animal print is leopard
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beads!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite animal print is leopard.
I'd have a hard time choosing between zebra and giraffe. But I'm mostly a blue-and-white girl, decor-wise, and those speckled blue beads really speak to me! Would love to win, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHI,Mortira:-)
ReplyDeleteI like the beads You're showing.Love their colora and texture.
My favorite animal print is a cat.
I never have luck in give aways,but maybe this time...? Who knows.
Thank You for the chance:-)
Great Hugs-Halinka-
I sort of like dalmation spots....not cruella deville like just faux.
ReplyDeleteHmm, my favorite animal print would have to be tiger, but the blue ones remind me of leopard, and I love their rich texture. What a great stash of beads!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE BLUE, my favorite color and I also love any beads with stripes and or polka dots, but my favorite would be zebra stripes.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say leopard. Everytime I see something unique in leopard print I have to buy it. Just bought a pen today!
ReplyDeletejskelley@mintel.net
I love all animial prints. Two of my favorite purses have a mix of animal prints that are enhanced and brought together through color. Love that!
ReplyDeleteloves! by the way, i'm a follower, and hope someday you'll be mine too!

Love the bead selection that you are giving away. My favorite animal print is the peacock feather, so colourful, and the central eye is always amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beads! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFavorite animal print? anything spotted, like a dalmation or leopard, but in different colors.

I'm not really a fan of animal prints, but there is a hat my niece wants me to make for her, and I really like it. It's jaguar, I believe. I like that one, and even giraffe, for some weird reason. ^_^
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beads! My favorite animal is cat so I suppose my favorite animal print would be the same :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope this counts as an "animal print," but I love, love, love peacock feathers
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful giveaway. I am a cat lover, big and small, and bead weaver and am always on the lookout for cat patterns. My latest piece was a leopard print peyote stitch bracelet in shades of turquoise and bronze. These beads would look great in bezels.
