Above are pictured all eight seasonal beads I made, one for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Here in the southern hemisphere we are now entering Beltane, the gateway to summer and summers here where I live tend to get very hot. Pictured below are the beads I made for Beltane,you can read more about this HERE.
The traditional colours for Beltane are rainbow colours with an emphasis on purples, yellows, reds, green and whites. In making these Beltane beads I decided to limit the colours I used to white pearl beads, with pinks and blues along with pink spacer beads. If you notice, these Beltane beads are very similar to my Ostara beads but with darker pink and blue beads. This is partly due to my limited supply of beads, but I am happy with the result. In total I used 46 beads, not including the pink
rhodonite stone spacer beads to create this.
