The Peoples Bead contest challenged Trollbeads fans to design a bead that was inspired by people, selected by people, and designed by one person you: to be released as part of the 2009 Autumn Collection. And the winner is:
PAX, a simple, elegant and powerful bead symbolizing peace was designed by Suzanne Hopping, a graphic designer from Sydney, Australia.
Suzanne’s Inspiration…
“Peace is something I hold close to my heart as my mum and dad met in a Prisoner of War camp in Germany during WWII, and I am very well 
aware of the suffering they went through.” Suzanne wanted to choose a subject that “connects, involves and resonates with every person on earth in the same way” with a bead that “transends genders and generations.”
Trollbeads Trail has a few coming in to start, so call me for availability. I expect the Pax bead will fly as quickly as the Summer Butterfly! We hope production will get caught up and they will be available for everyone soon.
