I love these beads. I've been wanting one, but have not bought one yet or found the right one yet. I adore anything steampunk. And I'm also an upcycler myself, so these really speak to me on many levels.

Knowing what I do about the work, the time and his perfectionistic methods, I would venture to say that his price, though it seems a little pricey is still a bargain.
They are truly works of art.

BTW, Jim is very reclusive and will not join Facebook or social media sites no matter how many times I try to nudge him in that direction, so I will send him your photos Chuck. I think he should see how beautiful they look on your bracelet.

That's a real beauty!!!! I wish all the beads he makes were tb sized! I had my eye on this one but the holes were too small for my bracelet! That and it clearly had your name all over it! afro

by Megram Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:37 am

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!! Your bracelets are stunning & very "edgy" Charles. Love the OE's with the new beads. Thanks for sharing .. looked at the site & most of my favourites were sold ... guess I know who got them Smile

Truly works of art flower

This isn't going to fit a tb bracelet?? Sad

by Kirstin Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:50 am

well heck. if it won't go on my bracelet, I have a gold box chain and can wear it on my neck as a pendant. I love the bead design so I'm not going to stress if it can't be on a bracelet. I'll just have to get another one. Very Happy

by Chuck Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:53 am

At the top of the sale page he identifies tb friendly beads vs. smaller cored beads. I'm pretty sure this was one of the smaller cored beads. Crying or Very sad

He puts a "T" somewhere in the header of each bead to identify troll compatibility. There is a bi-cone on offer that has no "T" but he identifies it in the blurb as being able to fit troll bracelets. He's a really cool guy just let him know you wanted troll sizing and not the smaller ones. I'm sure he'll help u out.

by Kirstin Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:59 am

I'm not worried about it. I picked the bead because I love the colors and texture in it. I'll wear it around my neck. Smile
