It's bead naming time!

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.

  6. They remind me of really deep dark sea water so Morgawr from me - a rather illusive Cornish sea monster.
    or Morbihan - as in the gulf of in Brittany

  8. Hi Laura

    Just 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"

  14. Hi Laura,
    How 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

    Hi Laura

    Name: Twilight

    The colours just remind me of the sky at Twilight – not light, not dark but cool, calm and tranquil.

    Regards

  19. The light green colour reminds me of wrigley's winter fresh chewing gum for some reason...so how about "winterfresh, "wintergreen" or "spearminty".

    This is my first attempt at naming beads...

  21. Esmeralde or Esmeralda - thought they looked kinda emeraldy - emerald comes from the Greek 'smaragdos' via the Old French 'esmeralde'

    Venus - 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)

  22. 'neptune' as it is also a very rich mix of blue and green.

    Also neptune is the god of the sea. And they look very sea like to me.
