Picasso Jasper!

Just look at the sun as it streams in on the beads and highlights the natural colors and fissures found in Picasso jasper stones.  

Trollbeads released the Picasso Jasper as a limited edition kits well over a year ago (late in 2010) and it sold out very quickly.  If you are new to Trollbeads you need to remember that with Limited Editions once they are gone...they are gone.  Well that is unless dealers like myself buy enough to offer it to collectors a year of two out. This way new collectors (and we know there have been a large a large wave of new Trollies in recent months!)  Just recently I have listed Picasso Jasper beads on Trollbeads Gallery all at the original prices and I plan on adding more very soon.  We still have a good quantity to go and for me it's just taking the time to photograph and list while I am also doing the same for the unique Trollbeads and the unique Amber!! In case you are new to the Picasso Jasper Trollbeads everyone of them are entirely unique and to create a successful bracelet around them you want to look for the very unique colors and patterns. 

The Picasso Jasper is a very organic collection and very natural in a senses of the word.  As with all stone there are fissures and lines and interesting shades of colors at all different angles and this makes for a really warm and really organic bracelet.  Remember those large bracelets on Wilma and Betty's wrists? I'll bet you anything they were wearing large jasper beads. 

Ancient stories have people in the past using it for the transformation of one's creativity energy. Anyone feeling an artistic block can realize opening benefits by letting the eyes travel through the patterns of Picasso jasper and allowing thought to dissolve while in the process of meditation.  Maybe it would behoove me to adorn my laptop with a Trollbeads 31" Necklace full of Picasso Jasper Trollbeads. Why do I think I could use it? Have you ever tried coming up with creative blogs on a continuous basis?

Some ideas of what Trollbeads you can add to your Picasso Jasper Trollbeads. There are many, many Trollbeads that work with the Picasso Jasper but I've just names a few.  

As I mentioned I will be adding more Picasso Jasper beads soon!

It has been quite a while since I have written something about Picasso Jasper and now that Trollbeads is sold out I thought it a good time to tell new collectors about it and remind the old collectors to get it now before it is totally gone!

The Picasso Jaspers were released late fall and they are soon to become very hard to find.  As usual I hoard limited edtions and I purchased many Picasso Jasper beads because I knew they were very limited but also because I love the natural stone beads and the look is so great.

Picasso Jasper actually comes from a crystal.  It seems hard to believe but this kind of crystal produces other visually abstract forms of stone such as Malachite.  Sometime referred to as Picasso marble, the Picasso Jasper comes in extraordinary abstract patterns and wild veining and this attribute is what makes it so exciting to collectors of Trollbeads.  Like miniature aerial photos each stone appears to have streams, fissures and lakes.  Look into a Picasso Jasper and see what you can see, it’s rather like finding things in the clouds.  During the creation process the stone goes through metamorphosis and is changed by natural occurring temperature changes and pressure.  These processes are what cause the graining and color changes that can occur with one stone.

Like all of the natural stones, the Picasso Jasper is associated with energies and healing.  The stone is reported to attract people who see things the same who then in turn become close friends. It can also be the catalyst that heals a broken relationship.  If you are an artist and feel a block on your creativity just meditate on the designs of your Picasso Jasper and follow the paths upon the stone.  It is believed that you path will open up before you.

Are you wondering where the stone got its name?  It resembles Pablo Picasso’s abstract painting style with it lines and quick changes of color.  I see other artists in the different beads too, Alexander Calder and Georges Seurat just to name a couple.  

Bead at left reminds me of Seurat's pointilissm.      

Bead at the right reminds me of Calder's forms!

Trollbeads Gallery had just listed more Picasso Jasper and will continue this as I have many stashed away!

Always take a good look at all of theTrollbeads Limited Edition

offerings as once they sell out they are gone!

With all the outstanding Trollbeads releases in 2010 it has taken a full 5 articles to complete the story, with this being the final one.  The World Tour of Trollbeads continued with the set for Italy. The glass bead was created in the colors of the Italian Flag and the silver beads all had great meaning to the history of Italy including pasta wrapping around a fork!

The final World Tour Trollbeads set for 2010 was for Holland complete with 4 beads also including a windmill, wooden shows and a bead representing Van Gogh's Sunflowers! All great designs for a great country filled with many Trollbeads fanatics!

You would think the year was full and productive as it stood but next came the extraordinary "Skeleton" necklace, available only in Europe. It was sensationally dramatic with a gold collar and it was unlike anything yet produced by Trollbeads. This may have not been the most popular release due to its size and price but it served to show us there is still a wildly adventurous side to this great company!  I would love to find one for our Trollbeads Museum!

The most popular release was the introduction of the Limited Edition Picasso Jasper Trollbeads.  These are natural, organic and very popular! It's releases like this one that puts Trollbeads so far above the other brands and I hope they never stop testing the limits. Each Picasso Jasper bead has a variety of veining and colorations giving great drama.

Natural stone, when polished, has a quality to it that separates if from glass and amber giving it Trollbeads a nother whole medium to offer its collectors.
