February 2022 Bead of the Month - The Dragonfly Bead combines the strength and courage of the color red with the love and hope of new beginnings
Artist Inspiration: "Throughout the world dragonflies symbolize hope, love, change, and new beginnings. The color red is linked to a wide range of symbols and emotions. It is the color that is linked the most to courage. This bead combines the strength and courage of the color red with the love and hope of new beginnings."
