Beautiful creations Blusybeads and Vonnewe  I love you 

I would wear both, Blusy, and I especially love the second one - I guess I am already half in autumn mode Wink

And Vonnewe, you do not need the smily with the bat hitting itself, you needed this challenge Smile

I am still wearing mine, btw, and love it to pieces Smile

Noooo! You need to throw something together! Even if it is a mini combo! Don't let what you think you need hinder you from something really nice and spontaneous.  drunken

 Agree !! I look at this not to create "perfect" combinations, but more to start thinking of how to use my less-used beads in other ways. Smile

Finally got inspired and had some free time to play with my less used collection.  So here they are:
bead - CBB's Bead Challenge - Page 2 20CACD29-16E9-4ADA-9496-72E12D92691D

And here is my attempt.  I tried to combine colors I don't usually and just for CBB I included those Jasper's.

Ok, now I need to explain that I consider bead 2 the ugliest bead I own.  It came in a trio with something I had to have and has lived in the bead box except for the few times I have photographed it in an attempt to sell or swap it.  I actually might be able to wear it out of the house in this combo.  If anyone has any other ideas for it, let me know...I really don't do pink though, so can't just put it with other pink beads.

Here's a crazy thought: Pink and tan go together. If you have a bangle, I would take the tan PJ, your ugly pink bead, a navy or dark-ish blue bead, and your orange steel. Throw in a statement silver and you may have a not so ugly pink bead combo. I would place the PJ on the far right on the bangle to anchor the design.  Very Happy

Kyhalfpt, those are both very beautiful. I especially like the one with the red dangle Smile There is a touch of autumn in there but with the pink and yellow hues it is more like an indian summer one Smile

And Plumbun, autumn has been a lot already on my mind (and this in 36 degrees celsius humidly hot high summer weather - probably my wish for a cool autumn breeze Smile ). Especially the first one does not only speak to me, it quite loudly shouts „Me, me, me!“ Smile

Some great looking combinations. Bluesybeads love the beads in your second bracelet.

Another one of my neglected beads has found a home, and this time in a semi-permanent bracelet!  cheers 

The python between the two tupilaks has been relegated to the bead box for far too long, when there was a perfectly good bracelet for it to sit on. I just needed to wake up and see it!
