Restless dreams

The reason your Grandma told you never to eat cheese before bedtime, if you do you'll dream of a bracelet like this ! 

A grab and go bracelet that goes with everything (or nothing), full of fun beads !

A lot of these are difficult to combine, so I'm going for the chuck them all together approach  

The silvers...Pacman ! I remember when that was the in game ! the Trollbeads day bead is great, but I have trouble using it, I love the Magician he is sort of like a friendly fun Uncle, Walk is great, all those feet ! my little Frog prince is what I call my Shih Tzu, and I'm an aquarius, I actually hated this bead when it was released, boaring, but then someone said it looks like someone throwing up into a bucket, now that I can relate to !

My Crazy Cat bead just makes me smile, the lemon stone is yummy, it looks like a boiled sweet, the yellow Ooak is bright and fun, how could they retire the beautiful purple stripe ? Mardi Gras and Red China are lovely, but hard to use...........I could go on, and on, just a colourful bit of fun !     

 

Wow - a wonderfull classical meaning-a-lot-TB-bracelet! Wonderful description! And I love that you call your Shih-Tzu your frog prince (does he jump a lot or is he a prince or both ? ) This really should go with everything and it brings lots of colour into even the dreariest day!

Even on the day I was shopping for my first beads ( which were color coordinated) I looked at all those trays of colors and themes, I knew I would be missing out on something by being so constrained.

Love this joyful, eclectic bracelet.

My Lhasa X bitch is "Daddys little princess" and DH says my Shih tzu is ugly, I say he is so ugly he is cute and so he's my "Frog prince"

Exactly the right approach throwing them all together

I had so very much fun reading you description- what a picture of the aquarius....
(Love it)
And all this fun shows in your bracelet- really great! I have to be brave and try it too!

Oh dear !  So many views, so few comments 

Don't worry, I don't expect everyone to like it, I'm not sure I like it myself in the Oh-wow-I-must-re-create-that-! sense 

some of the many views are probably from me... hi hi... I kept coming back, I have done a similar bracelet and have shown it in the January thread, I have worn my combo now for more than a month and love it,
I like your combo too, it is very colourful and has got a good mixture of old and new, and it has some very queer silver on it,

I bet it looks very good when actually worn and not just put on a surface and taken a quick pic, there is always a difference between a pic and wearing a bracelet,
I personally prefer your type of design, I very often do "beautiful" combos but never wear them, nice to look at but not really my style.

It also depends on what you are wearing, such bracelets look nice when worn as an only piece of jewellery, I only wear them with a fine silver necklace and no more colours on that, I pay attention of not wearing colour overdosage.

The dogs are beautiful, have you put them on a dog show?

I also find Mardi Gras and Red China difficult to work with although the two of them together make a great pair. I think a bangle with them and Amazonite would be a safe design. Not sure what to add to that. I think the combo above is what TB is all about. Wear it with pride!

Oh goodness, those dogs!  

You can call it your Lewis Carroll combo perhaps? Definitely can be elements of all sorts of strange dreams (but not dark love!  )

Combo is fun and great, full of joy and colors.... but most of everything I think your description has been great fun to read, you made me smile...and those dogs

I love your description and the resulting bracelet. So creative and colorful and fun! I have some unique that I love individually but don't use because they are hard to use, maybe I will try this and just put them together to enjoy.

Every Lhasa girl is a princess - Though our Gyalmo considers our Ilvy to be her maid But please tell your DH not to call your lovely little Shih Tzu ugly - he is truly adorable!!! (the Shih Tzu I mean -  though I am sure your DH is nice, too )

I like the colours, they do work together I find it hard to make eclectic bracelets. Yours is great

I think the older beads are the nicest too

It was just a little fun show, not my sort of thing at all but it was organised by the lovely ladies who run the dog training class I go to, so I had to go to support them.  I took this photo afterwards and its the best I have of the two dogs together.

I don't have any pets but yours are charmers.  They look very intelligent and quite proud of themselves.

!!! Lewis Caroll is indeed,the name for that bracelet! And that pair is very cute!

I would love to play with them!

I am a bit late to the game and just seeing this now, but you know what?? THIS is EXACTLY why I still love Troll so much. I might not think to create this, but it WORKS and these are exactly the kinds of bracelets that really turn heads when worn. BEAUTIFUL!!

It is so joyfull, thank you!

We know someone else who does this and it really works!

Thanks for the doggy pic!
