I have had a lot of fun going through the Art Bead Scene's archives over the last several months to bring you the Sunday Link Libraries. But it's time to do something new for Sunday link day. And I need YOUR help!
Every couple of weeks, I am going to pick a theme I want YOU to show me the best examples of that theme. You give me links to the finest artisan examples you can find, and I will choose some to feature on the blog the next week. Bead makers, this is a great potential opportunity to share your work on this blog, seen by hundreds of beaders and buyers every day. Artisan bead lovers, share your favorite finds with the rest of us... help us find those hidden gems that you love!
The first Show Me request is for handcrafted beads and components in the color blue. We have a monthly challenge and a special project this month that will feature blue beads, so we are going to need to see lots of examples and links for blue goodies for people to love and share. So please, leave a comment with a link to your favorite blue beads!
And now... we have some links from some of our bead blogger friends to show off:

Snap out of it, Jean! There's beading to be done!

Let's see the blue beads, everyone!
I just started putting my beads into sets of 8 pairs (16 beads total), and have a few blue palettes in my one listing in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/103315244/ceramic-disc-bead-sets-8-pairs-made-to
I am really fond of the:
Clouds In The Sky, Stormy Sky Blues, and Sky Cowgirl blue palettes!
I could have easily picked out hundreds of color combinations with my new glaze color palette (working on website overhaul now :)
Love Working with Blues!

I have three links I would like to share for three different types of blue..
