Almost all crystal figurine collectors have a favorite animal in their collection. What is really interesting is that crystal animal choice often represents the character or any animal’s behavior in the individual.
Here is an example of how animals of a person’s favorite crystal behavior characterizes all days. Judy is a cute, friendly, cheerful, carefree young woman who seems to have the responsibilities of several thousands of tasks and jobs. Quickly jumping from one task to another without much effort. She is always full of high octane energy and can push her efforts into high gear when necessary.
Of all the animals in glass and crystal figurines of her collection, her favorite is a small crystal rabbit. Why? Because Judy feels that is how she goes about doing things, jumping from one place to another as a rabbit. And do not forget, bunnies are cute.
In another example, one year ago, a man in his mid thirties man lost his wife, his house, all his money and face bankruptcy. He hit the lowest point in his life. He realized that he had “hit rock bottom and had nowhere to go but up.” A close friend told him to start a new life.
That’s what John did. He got a new job, found a new wife and bought a new home. His previous life was in the past and his new life filled with promise. Her favorite figure was a glass butterfly, as it symbolizes and reminds him of “new life” and how that changed who and what he is today.
The following example is a large man who is strong and lively, full of energy fire.
What is your favorite animal glass? If you said a crystal dragon would be correct. A good second choice would be a glass bull.
It may seem strange that human beings have to choose a figure that reflects the traits of animals or behaviors like theirs. But not true. Their is psychology and history to support this phenomenon. Indigenous people in many cultures name children after animals thinking that the child will exhibit behaviors of animals and the strengths the child matures.
They adorned their bodies with feathers or fur to compare themselves to their namesake.
Very often, the individual tried to live according to these names and what they represent.
Of course, people choose their favorite colors of glass and crystal figurines for a variety of other reasons. However, when you think of your favorite glass figurine, ask yourself this question. Why is my favorite figure? The answer may surprise you.

I'm trying to personalize my phone with Swarovski crystals. I have a small crystals envelope and a small bottle of glue. Looks like I'm making a mess of it! Is there any method? I've been using forceps and taking the gems from a pile – but the phone seem to get covered in glue – nightmare! Does anyone know how it's supposed to work?
The best way is to use the E6000 glue and a toothpick with a little beeswax on the tip. This makes it easy to pick up the glass and stick in the phone. Let dry for at least 24 hours before using. Hope this helps. The crystal glass designs
