Today’s blog post features the Ohm Beads BOTM for October called Magic Frog ($70 USD) and a lovely blue glass bead called Lily Pad ($45 USD). The Lily Pad glass bead, out October 4th, is a regular collection bead, not limited edition. Yay for that!! It is such a vibrant blue and I think the little green lily pad is very sweetly done. There are 3 of them on the bead, equally spaced. It looks wonderful with Green Crack beside it. To the right of Green Crack is my upcoming collaboration bead with Ohm called Lilac Rain. I’ll do a blog post on it next week as it will be for sale on October 12th.
I made an almost all glass bracelet using some of my older Ohm Beads. I was buying them back before they switched to the barrel shape!
The Magic Frog has such a cute face and fits in well with the Lily Pad. On either end of the bangle are Lilac Rains and then one of my all time favourites, Jiangshi, to balance things out.
I’m not sure why, but I always find little frog bums to be so adorable.
I love how the eyes are done.
So, October 4th is when Lily Pad and Magic Frog are released. Probably some people have already pre-ordered them. Let me know if you have! Also, what other beadmail are you waiting for? I bought one of those white Ohm Beads with the silver stripe during the Bead Bash and also bought the two new colours of X Links so am waiting for those.
Disclosure: For this blog post I may receive some items as promotional samples.

I already own the Pandora Frog Prince bead, which I also think is very sweet, and a RBF Tree Frog, and although I find Magic Frog to be more desirable than might be healthy, I have not yet pre-ordered one.
I am trying to spend less on beads, as I have too many to be able to truly appreciate each day, BUT, I might just cave and buy this exquisite frog bead as he truly is a brilliant piece of Frog Bead Art!

Sarah, I totally understand what you are saying. I know we both have substantial bead collections and that we both truly adore each and every one. However, as you say, this little frog is truly adorable. 🐸

Yes, I freely admit to you, because I know you understand, that I am quite under his froggy spell.

I love this little frog and went and pre-ordered him right away. I am waiting for some of the henhouse beads and some Ohm glass (glamour and eerie nights) to come in the mail. Also waiting for the scream and the Ohm Scorpio bead.
I think I’ve spent way too much on beads this year, but I spent less on yarn, so I guess it all evens out in the end.

Hi Rita, that sounds like some fun beadmail that will be coming to you soon! I like your thinking about the balance of spending on hobbies.

Love magic frog and was lucky enough to be able to pick him up last weekend at bead bash. You have styled him so nicely. I am happy that there is no rush for lily pad as I have spent more than I planned and need to have bead money for the 12th. Love that rain bead!

Hi Elizabeth! I agree that’s it’s nice to not have to rush to get the Lily Pad bead. It’s one I might like to buy in the spring so I can have a pair. I’m so happy you like the Lilac Rain bead!

What’s happening on the 12th that you need bead money for?

Rita, I think she’s referring to the Ohm Beads Lilac Rain Bead being sold that day on the OHMtogether website. I’ve been sort of promoting it on Facebook and Instagram and will do a blog post on it next week. If you aren’t active on those social media sites you wouldn’t know about it yet! In the picture above with the black background there are two, on either end of the bangle. But maybe Elizabeth is talking about something else altogether! LOL!!!! 🤷🏻♀️😀
