Playing with my beads...New SuperDuos

Yesterday I got to try out a bunch of new SuperDuo colors. I chose some of my favorite patterns to make the samples. All of the SuperDuos are from Aria Design Studio on Etsy.

Before I show you the samples, I want to mention that quite often Aria's bead photos are much darker than the beads look in reality. One of the colors that I just got, but didn't use in any of the samples below, turned out to be identical to the color that I blogged about on December 3rd HERE. I made the "Persian Fans Earring" sample with some "Crystal Grey Rainbow" SuperDuos that I had just bought at a local shop. The ones that I got from Aria are called "Bronze Iris Matte" and I had no idea they would turn out to be the same beads. Here is the photo from Aria's shop:

BRONZE IRIS MATTE

And here is how they look in real life:

BRONZE IRIS MATTE

I'm actually not disappointed that they are the same color because I love it and will use them for something. Now for the samples...
