Today I want to look at some new releases from Ohm beads in January. The amount of beads Ohm beads release every month is astonishing!

I bought the Bead of the Month Year of the Cock and two Fireball limited edition glass beads. It is the year of the Firerooster! I love the stories Ohm beads add to the beads! This is the story of the Rooster taken from the Ohm beads website:

Roosters are known for their regal stance, beautiful feathers and fearless personalities. They symbolize courage and independence. The Zodiac repeats every 12 years, and cycles through all 5 elements.The base element for Roosters is metal, and 2017 is the Fire Rooster which repeats every 60 years! The last Fire Rooster was 1957; The next is 2077. #FeelTheFire

True roosters always get what they set their intent on. Learn from the best and you will reach your full potential. In a Year of the Cock, all of the Chinese animals can reap great rewards by tapping into Rooster traits. Don’t miss your opportunity to reach for the stars! Loyalty, commitment, hard work, persuasiveness, family values, and tip-top appearance are just some of the characteristics that will be rewarded this year. This is your chance to be proud to be OHM! This is your chance to be proud to be YOU! #GotOhmGotPride

This year pride is the new way to feel good. Do you have something no one else has? Are you proud of who you are? What are you good at? Don’t hide your true personality. Let the fear go and let yourself show! Don’t be afraid to be the true you. Year of the Cock is your year to shine! Show them what you worth! Go ahead, be cocky! YOTC: 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029 … #BeCocky.        End of quote!

Don’t you feel empowered by these words? I do!

A closer look at the beautiful box with gold Ohm logo and the certificate that always accompany the Bead of the Month. It states the serial number of your bead and the ammount of beads made. This unique number is engraved in the bead.

I know I showed this bracelet last week, but here it is again! My first husband was Firerooster and my husband is Rooster!

There are two Ohm beads red facet glass beads on this bangle and two fire-ish stoppers!

And stacked with my Ohm bracelet.

With two Hive Mind, bead of the Month August 2016.

The Rooster can also be worn on the ball necklace. This is the retired ball necklace.

The Fireball glass beads are gorgeous, with swirling colours looking like fire! As with his counterpart Waterfall, these are limited edition. I asked Mike from Ohm why they are limited edition again (Dreamscape and Purple Haze are too) and he said it has to do with supplies. Once this batch of glass is used up, they want to move the artists on to the next project.

I love the Fireball with the red facet together!

Fireballs on my Angels bracelet.

And I made this tribute bangle for my late brother, he was a firefighter.

So with these beads from the January release I could make a lot of different bangles!
