We’ve featured Rings & Things’ mascot, Russ “the troll” Bead, in this space. Here’s an update…
Russ the bead has been very busy. A recent spate of sightings has been reported to Rings & Things. In fact, so many people have been sharing their photos of him that we’ve started a Russ bead Flickr group. Here are just a few highlights.
Like a true woodland creature, Russ sometimes hangs around toadstools…

He’s been invited to ice-cream socials…

It’s a small, small world, so he keeps running into fellow travelers…

Of course, travel is not without its perils…

But our hero always seems to get back to domestic safety…and domestic animals:

Lots more fun pictures of Russ Troll Bead’s travels have been posted, so visit that Flickr link! Our Blog Partners and like-minded bead lovers everywhere keep sending us more photos to share. One good friend, Wendy, has even created a World-Wide Travels of Russ Troll Bead map!
