Unboxing the Egyptian Dreams Cranberry Colour Box
Hello, and welcome. I’m Catriona Starpins from Catriona Starpins Studio, although many of you know me simply as Cat. I’m passionate about beads and all things that sparkle, and today I’m excited to share a closer look at the Egyptian Dreams edition of the Cranberry Colour Box.
Watch the video here
This carefully curated box is a treasure trove of colours and textures inspired by the rich, vibrant tones of ancient Egypt. Inside, you’ll find a stunning selection of seed beads in a range of finishes and sizes, from delicate size 15s to bold Czech glass size 8s. There are metallics, lustres, and matte finishes that all play beautifully together.
Some of the highlights include:
-
Miyuki Duracoat Gold in both size 15 and size 8
-
Opaque turquoise and matte transparent red size 15s
-
A brilliant navy metallic and blue iris 11s
-
Matte pale Aztec gold fire-polished beads
-
Preciosa crystal bicones in crystal arum
-
Beautiful GemDuos in coordinating finishes
-
Czech glass pearls and faceted rondelles
-
A generous 50 gram bag of silver lined dark blue seed beads
-
And a surprise treasure pack filled with pyramids, hearts, flags, bugles, and more
The Egyptian Dreams Colour Box also includes an exclusive pattern, available only to customers, designed to work with the beads in the box. While I didn’t show the pattern itself in my video to protect that content, I can tell you it’s a wonderful project that brings all these elements together beautifully.
I purchased this box from Cranberry Beads here in Melbourne, where I also work. I love helping Jo put these boxes together. A lot of care goes into choosing the right combination of beads so that each box feels fresh, inspiring, and full of creative potential.
The Egyptian Dreams Colour Box cost $150 AUD and includes express post within Australia. If you would like to find out when the next box is available, I recommend joining the Cranberry mailing list at
