Litha Beads - Wheel of the Year

Pictured are the eight seasonal beads I made for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. As it is now Christmas here in the southern hemisphere, which actually means midsummer, we are now in Litha. So as the weather gets warmer we are preparing for family get togethers in the warmth of the outdoors. For this season of Litha I made a set of beads, seen below, you can also read more about this HERE.

As the traditional colours for Litha include golds, oranges, yellows, blues and greens, I decided to focus on the warmer colours of gold and yellow for this, due to wanting a more warmer look, and also because that is all my bead collection would allow for. So to make this I used a total of 45 beads in gold, yellow and pink, because why not pink. I also used a number of mixed quartz stones as spacer beads.
