Congratulations to Georgana Gersabeck of Berkley, Michigan who proposed the name “Aurora” for Elise Winters’ new colorway. When she saw Elise’s bead strands she said, “I immediately felt I was\u00a0looking at the Northern lights.”<\/p>\n

Elise sent this me this message on Sunday:<\/p>\n
” Your deadline has passed and I checked in to gather the last minute submissions. There were so many great suggestions. And I was very impressed with the depth of thought that people put into their submissions. \u00a0I loved the Wikepedia research, the poetry and the humor (extra-orchid- ary). \u00a0It was hard to make a choice. \u00a0There were quite a few contenters – Fiesta & Calypso capture energy, <\/span>Sorbet, mango, saffron, melonberry played to my love of luscious juicy FOOD!<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n I add my thanks to everyone who participated in the “Name That Colorway” Challenge. The names were all very evocative – I could visualize the beautiful inspirations behind each one. It was fun to see the many different ways you can interpret one set of colors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Congratulations to Georgana Gersabeck of Berkley, Michigan who proposed the name “Aurora” for Elise Winters’ new colorway.
