“The Trollbeads Spring Collection 2010 celebrates this happy time with all the classic springtime themes – sunlight filled gardens, rebirth, renewal and romance. Enjoy the soft pastel nuances of Amazonite and Jade stone beads as well as pink, green and blue glass studded with Swarovski crystals and a new Swan clasp.

We are pleased to introduce leather bracelets in black, brown, beige and red and also a new type of bead: the Tassel. The Tassels are available in in black faceted Spinel stone and fresh water pearls. Six new black and white beads round out the Spring 2010 Collection.”

As a gift for the winning movie clips  in the “Be Original – The Movie” contest, participants received a beautiful Amazonite bead.  Trollbeads said Amazonite is not yet available in the Trollbeads collection, but  hopefully very soon we can offer them to everyone.

For my winning movie clips, I received these two lovely beads and a card from Trollbeads that reads:

“Another summer filled with fun and adventure is over.  We’ve laughed with your silly families, travelled to the far corners of the earth and even been up close to some of the world’s wildest animals.

This shimmering green Amazonite stone is a little piece of Summer 2009 to remind you that even on the cloudiest day you can always find some sunshine.  With love, Trollbeads”

Go To www.BeOriginalTheMovie.com to see the winning movies!  Thank you Trollbeads and God Bless the Trolls.

If you haven’t heard about it, it is time to take a look at the final results!  Just as Trollbeads had the People’s Bead contest that resulted in the beautiful ‘Pax’ bead, they have just published the results of the contest to be in the “BE ORIGINAL – THE MOVIE”.  Go to www.beoriginalthemovie.com and you can view all of the over 300 submissions, or take a shortcut and look at the 3 final movies.  I won a spot at about 1:30 in the movie “Places” By Director Niels Anders Thorn.  Trollbeads invited everyone to show them where they had taken their Trollbeads this summer.  My two clips were of a motorcylce ride to the front of my store with my friends, Harleys rumbling in the background and jovial laughter from all.  Next is of Wolf in my lap at Balanced Rock at Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, where we were hiking the Trollbeads Trail.  Special thanks and gratitude go to Marc Fuller for capturing the winning Trollbeads moments on camera and submitting them to Denmark.   As always, Trollbeads had a special gift for the winners – if your clip was used in the final movie, Trollbeads  is sending you the beautiful faceted turquoise Amazonite stone. Amazonite is not yet available in the Trollbeads collection so winners will be among the first in the world to own it.
