We asked you on Facebook and Twitter: “Beader’s verbal inkblot test – When I say ‘disco ball bead’, what do you picture?“
I’ll spill the beads 🙂 right up front – – here’s what brought the question up:
Disco ball beads!?
A lot of you gave entertaining answers, so I wanted to share some & ask you for more…
- Julie Whalen – A multi-faceted crystal bead?
- Julie Morgan – something that is faceted that catches light and sparkles (lol…will it rotate?)
- Licia Milhofer – micro faceted rock crystal quartz, 12mm 🙂
- Rebecca Coday – that song “I’m alive” as sung by the alien who later gets smashed by the disco ball falling on his head!
- Chrisana Birdsall – sparkly twinkly big shiny!
- Russ Troll Bead – You guys just gave me a great idea – Rings & Things needs to sell teeny tiny earring-size motors that will make your disco ball beads spin ☺
- Julie Hutchins – The little sterling silver faceted round beads – look just like a disco ball!
- Rebecca Coday – make a disco ball of the disco ball beads!
- Verena Greene-Christ – “Disco Ball Bead”… a beaded Bead, totally in blig-bling-silver on a necklace. Oh my, what an idea! Can YOU picture that?
- Maria Ramirez – lots of 4mm white bicolor swarosvki crystals shaped into a heart that shines like a disco ball in the sun!!
- Joella Miller – A multifaceted stone that really shimmers and reflects the light.
It was great to hear so many of your ideas about disco ball beads! Take a spin on the disco ’round with R&T’s full selection of ‘chessboard crystal‘ colors…
…And tell us what you see in your designing mind when you hear the words ‘disco ball bead’!

I like these. Particularly Russ Troll’s idea to make mini motors! That would be something! Enjoy the day! Erin
I’m with Verena; a disco ball beaded bead is totally a beaded bead! I even named one of my beaded bead designs after a disco ball a few months ago: http://www.beadorigami.com/Bead_Origami/Disco_Ball_Beaded_Bead_Pendants.html
That’s great, Cindy, you’re ahead of the curve 🙂
Erin, let me know if you can think of a way to make these motors…talk about steampunk design!
