This week I have a fantastic collection of rectangular acrylic beads to give away - the colors are so bright and juicy, perfect for spring and summer designs. Most of these pieces were saved and collected not only for their fun shapes, but for their gemstone hues as well.
My favorites are the chiclets, which I had always hoped to pair up with teal colored cord and pearl knots for a floating necklace. There are also several rectangular tubes in the colors of coral, jade, turquoise, and transparent gray, with a few metallic gold as well. Just for fun, I’ve added some two-hole rectangular sliders and a beautiful acrylic filigree component in jade green.
How to Enter
For a chance to win all of the beads shown, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post, and answer the following question:
What is your favorite color for spring inspired designs?
If you do not have a Blogger profile with email contact enabled, please make sure to include a contact link or email address, so I can get in touch with you if you win! One lucky reader will be drawn at random on Tuesday, April 17th. This giveaway is open to readers from Canada and the US.
Good luck, and happy beading!

Love these beads! Esp the chicklet beads. My favorite color for Spring designs is orange-red coral.
ReplyDeleteI have two favorite colors-
ReplyDeleteShades of green, because where I am (near the Wasatch Mountains) everything slowly turns a beautiful green. You can literally watch the green climb the mountains!
Shades of blue - because my favorite color is blue, and I personally think it goes with any season. And probably because blue is a cool color which is perfect for the coming hot days of Spring/Summer!
Hi,Mortira:-)
ReplyDeleteI always take part in Your Beading Give Away with pleasure,so I'm taking part in this one as well.
Moreover: I always lack those rectangular forms of beads and I can see lots of green ones here,which is my favorite color of Spring designs.That jade and aventurine green is so charming,that I am in the middle of one,special,Spring work with them now.
Thank YOU for the next emotions:-)Maybe I am a Lucky Winner this time-who knows...

I love the pale, buttery yellow of spring!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colour for this Spring is ice blue. I've really fallen in love with that colour, even though it evokes a feeling of chiliness, I like the lightness of it for Spring.
ReplyDeleteyellow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice giveaway! My favorite color for Spring inspired designs is blue, any blue, from turquoise to periwinkle.

my favorite spring color to use is green, it makes me feel like spring has really started when everything around me starts turning green and then blooming
ReplyDeleteThose are luscious. I like the hue of the acrylic beads. Humm...lets see. I am working on a Spring type beaded doll. She is of course different shades of green with fuschia colored sequins to match the phlox rolling down in waves from my flower beds.
ReplyDeleteDaffodil yellow which is one of the first flowers to bloom signaling spring has finally sprung!
ReplyDeletegreen, and that lovely jade colored focal would be so fun to work with!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I have to pick just one color! I have two...green and orange. And these mixed with white!
ReplyDeleteThe chiclets you have chosen are beautiful and because we are still experiencing dreary grey dull weather here in Alta. the lovely bright blue and red really jumped out and spoke to me for their cheerfulness and color.
ReplyDeleteI love bright color beads!!! my favorite color for this spring is purple.
ReplyDeleteWhen I moved to Michigan, what astounded me most about the spring is the violets. The abundance of them, the fact that they just grow WILD in everyone's yards, on roadsides, in pastures... And that they weren't all violet. Purples, whites and yellows abounded at our old house. Now that we've moved we have a patch of fantastic mauve in our front yard, and in our neighborhood there are lovely white violets with delicate purple stripes. They make a lovely spring palette all put together!
ReplyDeleteMy fav is a sky blue. Blues are my favorite and sky blue can be paired with several other colors for spring~ This is a wonderful giveaway! Thank you for offering it!
ReplyDeleteI think green would have to be my favorite color of spring......I always look forward to the trees budding out and going from bare twigs to lush green
ReplyDeleteYellow's, because I love dandilions and daisies....
ReplyDeleteya I love weeds, dandilions are just so amusing to play with when on a hike
"And what is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not been discovered.”

I like green and yellow for spring as it's like the Daffodils, one of the first spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreen!! You can pair it with anything! :)
ReplyDeleteI am NOT a robot, but I'm loving the transparent grey! Gives me some good ideas.
ReplyDeletemorar.michael@gmail.com
Thank you for this opportunity, firstly! I am totally obsessed with Pantone's new spring color, Tangerine Tango! I'm visualizing myself (tanned and toned, snicker) sporting a pair of earrings I just made with my new beads!!! :D
ReplyDeleteJust found this blog. What great timing! This Spring I've been crazy about peachy coral-y colors.

Well, I was going to say green as most people that have looked at their comments agree. So, now I'm going to have to say the color of a Moon stone. It's opalesnce reminds me of the white fluffy clouds that come during the spring time and makes me feel at one with the air above us. The air can bring clouds for shade or rain or even just a nice brezzy day during the spring times.
