New Glass from Double Helix Glassworks!

by

2415f677-ea03-41e2-9464-3b9c1aa3eabbI love love love silver glass! I know I’ve typed those words before. So Double Helix, everyone’s favorite silver glass maker is releasing new glass colors on Saturday, March 26. They’re calling one of them Chloe, a green glass that looks like mother of pearl when it’s worked. They’ve also got a new Aether…Aether 2. Read all about the differences here:

Original Aether was extremely labor intensive which was why it was priced at $60 pound and not available to re-sellers.  Aether 2 has solved the production issues so, we’re making it available to re-sellers and lowering the price to $50/pound.  It also has an improved viscosity curve.  Please, note that Aether 2 and Zephyr are not the same.  Aether 2 is a reactive clear and Zephyr is not.  Aether 2 will react with silver glasses and it does a better job of holding the luster under encasement.  To help distinguish the two clears, Aether 2 will be wrapped in white paper and Zephyr will be wrapped in brown.

And of course pick up some of the other yummy colors while you’re filling your shipping cart. Happy Beading!!

Free Printable Wedding Coloring Pages for Kids – Inclusive and Fun

Planning a wedding and inviting little ones? Oh, friend… I’ve been there. Between heartfelt speeches, late-night dinners, and sugar-fuelled dance floors, keeping kids entertained (and not tugging at tablecloths or sliding under chairs) is no small feat. Weddings are magical, but let’s be honest—they can feel like a marathon for little guests with short attention spans and early bedtimes.

That’s where these free printable wedding coloring pages for kids come in—like quiet little heroes in crayon form. Think of them as your secret weapon for keeping small hands busy and little minds engaged. They’re sweet, easy to print, and totally wedding-appropriate with charming designs and just enough detail to delight kids of all ages.

Whether you’re planning a kid-friendly wedding or just have a few special little guests attending, these printable pages are perfect for wedding activity bags, the kids’ table, or even just having a few on standby near the guest book or lounge area. Trust me, a box of crayons and a cute coloring sheet can buy you at least enough time to enjoy a slice of cake before it melts.

And because love is beautifully diverse, I’ve created a mix of couple pairings—so you’ll find not only a classic bride and groom, but also a bride and bride and groom and groom version too. Because love deserves to be seen, shared, and celebrated in every form.

Each page is full of joy, designed with care, and honestly… I’ve caught more than one adult sneaking in a bit of coloring time. (You’re in a no-judgment zone here—I may or may not have done the same after one too many wedding cupcakes.)

These printable wedding coloring pages are a small but thoughtful way to make your celebration more inclusive, more joyful, and a little bit calmer for the tiny guests who are along for the ride.
