Thini-Mini makes his big debut!! I'm in LOVE!!

My new Thini-Mini bead and my new all time favorite!

I saw this bead a while ago on D4E and although I normally choose fat, chubby beads I just FELL IN LOVE with this bead....It is the same height (diameter) of the normal sized beads so it isn't what is termed a mini bead....SO I created my own name for this special beauty! I call him my TM bead....Thini-Mini!

In the photo you will see he is third from the left and is ultra slim! (No, no, not anorexic but as the Duchess of Windsor said many years ago, "You can never be too rich or too thin."....this bead believes that!)



The anniversary cat (second from left) is a regular sized width, the green shadow (far left) is a regular sized chubby bead and the braid on the far right is known as Mr. Monster! (Yes, he believes you can never be too rich or too fat or is that phat?!) It is the fattest bead I've ever seen (Thank you dear friend for sending him to me!)

I just LOVE the TM bead....it has a black base and the buds are a wonderful pale lime color....(yes IM, I know you love him and have been waiting to see him!).....

I've decided that it isn't just the chubby sized beads I love but beads that have attitude and transcend whatever size they are (no shrinking violets for me)! I hope that I can find some more TM beads and if you spot any just let me know please!

Thanks for checking them out.....I don't think I can split this gang up and will have to create something with all of them together; they have bonded, The Green Shadow, Happy Cat, Thini-Mini and Mr. Monster!!

I love them. (I'd actually love Troll to do a chubby fat set of beads, not huge, just really chubby.)

I have a thini-mini too, it is a Black Diamond from D4E and is super skinny like your OOAK there.

I love your thini-mini bead! And as for Mr. Monster... I'm fairly certain I have his twin! I love my fat bead!

I also love Thini-Mini - he is so beautiful and goes really well with your other beads (in terms of colour, not size!). I love his buds and I am not a "bud" person. Boy, Mr Monster certainly lives up to his name!!! I think he must have an over-active thyroid! A great little collection

Love your Thini-Mini! I enjoy having beads all sizes and widths. I think it adds interest to a bracelet.

Cute bead, they all look great together

Congrats on posting a pic!

Beads with Attitude! I know how much you love this little fellow and seeing him in this foursome shows what a Thini-Mini he really is!

I love smallish beads and your TM is sooo sweet! The colours are fab too !

Hahaha, you know me so well (and yes I love the TM bead and want to squish you both)

I agree! Tiny beads are the best

Cool bead, next to the cat they are looking like parent and child in a way!

Aw, a baby is born in your beadbox!

Oh LL! What a great idea....now if I could get some others to reproduce!

And Snork, you are right, TM looks like the child that just hasn't quite filled out yet!

I'm so glad that everyone agrees TM is a cutie! I can't wait to see your photos with TM beads!

And Clochard, I'd love to see a complete bracelet with TMs!

RD....How funny to find a black diamond that is a TM bead! Usually they are so fat! And you and I will both be waiting in line when they release a set of fat beads! Just love those full-figured ones!

And yes, AT, I'm proud of myself for figuring out the photo thing!

Lisa and I are in agreement....different size, shapes and textures can really bring interest to a bracelet!

IM! I knew you'd spot that black bead! And with lime, no less!! I'll be on the lookout for you! Squishes back at you!

Dot, you diagnosed the problem with Mr. Monster.....I just hope he didn't eat one of my other beads!

Thinny-mini looks great with the Big Boys!!!!!!

I love your TM bead, too, and he looks just PERFECT with his new friends!

Very cute!!!

Mini is adorable!!!

Small beads are not only extra special but they probably fit in the cross, in the ballerinas, in the tree...;-)

I recently received a Thini-mini Blue Bubbles, it made me laugh it was so skinny. That's the risk of online ordering.

I'd be happy to buy/send a nice normal or plump one to swap with you!

As someone else has already mentioned--love that your beads have attitude. I do think that an assortment of sizes on a bracelet looks great. Adds to the individuality of the whole thing.
