I made these greeny-bluey beads and I can't think of a decent name for them!If you've got any thoughts please post your name suggestions in my comments section. You can post as many names as you like. I'll pick my favourite name at 7.00 pm (GMT) tomorrow night and the winner will receive the pair of 18mm lentil beads pictured below.
I've just got an email entry from Lynne S who has suggested the following :

They remind me of really deep dark sea water so Morgawr from me - a rather illusive Cornish sea monster.

ReplyDeleteHi Laura
ReplyDeleteJust looking at them reminds me of the colour of the old fashioned Fairy Liquid, you know, the original one that was in the white bottle with the red top.....so that's my contribution
"Fairy Liquid"
No names I'm afraid, just wanted to say fantastic beads and a beautiful colour.

Oceana is all I can think of at the minute - they also remind me of recycled galss - so something like 'Green' drops...
ReplyDeleteHiya Laura
ReplyDeleteMy contribution is: 'The Holly and the Ivy'
I'm feeling festive!

Mint Liquorice...because they look good enough to eat!
ReplyDelete'deep sea diving'
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteHow about "Sweet Angelica" - with Christmas coming these tasty looking beads remind me of the colour of angelica(with hints of white icing), which I used to chop up to decorate the cake and trifles. Help, I'm showing my age -I haven't seen angelica in the shops for years!!
Best wishes

Thanks for all the fab names, everyone!

I've just had another email entry :
ReplyDeleteHi Laura
Name: Twilight
The colours just remind me of the sky at Twilight – not light, not dark but cool, calm and tranquil.

Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteHow about 'Teal Lights'
Or 'Prussian Blueberries' as I used to have some gorgeous ink in that colour!
Aquamarina
ReplyDeleteBloobs
Mermaid's Tears
Spyra Gyra
Love those beads but want the zebra marked ones more!

The light green colour reminds me of wrigley's winter fresh chewing gum for some reason...so how about "winterfresh, "wintergreen" or "spearminty".
ReplyDeleteThis is my first attempt at naming beads...

greenyblueybeads?
ReplyDeleteEsmeralde or Esmeralda - thought they looked kinda emeraldy - emerald comes from the Greek 'smaragdos' via the Old French 'esmeralde'
ReplyDeleteVenus - In ancient Rome, green was the colour of Venus, the goddess of beauty and love.
I personally didn't know any of this and have blatantly plagerised (and can't spell)
'neptune' as it is also a very rich mix of blue and green.
ReplyDeleteAlso neptune is the god of the sea. And they look very sea like to me.
