Wow, this year is flying along pretty fast, it’s the OHM June preview already!

This month is short but sweet again with in the regular collection only one bead, Australian exclusive Crikey! Release date is June 4!

Catch an Australian by surprise, and you’ll get a “Crikey!” An Aussie’s way of saying “OMG!” The exclamation was made famous worldwide by Australian TV personality and wildlife expert, Steve Irwin, nicknamed “The Crocodile Hunter.”

There’s a lot to be amazed about when it comes to crocodiles. Crocodiles have sharp eyesight, excellent night vision, and sensory nerves in their skin that allow them to sense the slightest vibration in the water. They have superb hearing, a keen sense of smell, underwater vision, and the most powerful bite of any animal on Earth.

Crocs are fast, even on land. They are wicked smart; using tricks, they lure their prey in for the kill. Talk about a formidable Crocodile Hunter!

Our OHM crocodile is so clever that he has even learned to throw a boomerang. He also looks stylish in his Crocodile Hunter hat.
But be careful when you let CRIKEY curl around your bracelet; he may be smiling, but that charming grin reveals rows of dangerous teeth. If he does, you’ll know what to exclaim!

And this month also sees an OHMistry project called Stay Grounded, a collaboration with artist Eliinake! Release date is June 10 at 10 am Seattle time!

This limited-edition release of STAY GROUNDED is part of Project OHMistry and is limited to 111 signed and serialized pieces. A certificate of authenticity is included with the special packaging designed by Elina.

Eliinake is a Portuguese based artist with a love for simple things. Taking inspiration from nature, space, and dreams, Elina creates illustrations that capture life’s simple yet beautiful details.

As you get older, you start rushing through life. You forget to stop and take in the beauty around you, dismissing it as an ordinary occurrence. You rush to meet deadlines, to keep up with your plans, to hit the next goal, to get to that sweet Goldilocks spot where you can finally relax. You rush to live life until it becomes too much. Too overwhelming. Too self-consuming. Too anxious.

Let this bead be a reminder to stop, take a breath, and reconnect with the here and now. Let it be a reminder to stay true to who you are. To stay grounded.

And that’s it for this month! They are both beautiful and fun and on my wishlist for sure! And let me guess, on yours too?
