My Noosa - the beginning

Fantastic!

Love the look!

Are those stones Turqouises? Your bracelet has inspired me to start a turquoise bracelet too. I just love the colours!

I love both of your bracelets! How wide is the leather band on the Noosa bracelet? What diameter are the chunks? Do the bracelets come in different lengths? Is the bracelet adjustable? I'm really tempted . . .

I love your Noosa chunks bracelet and ADORE the TB bracelet you made to match!
(I don't need another addiction by the way so no more noosa chunks photos please they are way too tempting! )

I love this Noosa stuff. I can't wait until I can find someone in the US to sell it to me. My friend says she is going to see about carrying it at the next trade show.

The TB stones are Amazonite, really love them. You do have to handpick them though because they really vary in color (see here for an idea http://www.macrow.co/trollbeadsheaven_en/trollbeads-extra/individually-photographed-trollbeads/80106-trollbeads-stone-amazonite-cut-stone.html) .

Can't wait to see your combo, I love the turquoise!

Thank you!
I don't have a tape measure but I will make sure I'll get you some measurements asap.

Both types of bracelets (single and wrapped) come in S, M, and the wrapped also in XS. The bracelets have two press-fasteners (see pic below) but other than that they are not adjustable.

Thanks! I'm still deciding what beads to get for the bracelets. I would love to combine it with natural colours like you did. I already have a wishlist with pictures and such, lol.

I know, sometimes you just know you want to use a specific color and you go from there, eventually it all comes together .
It is so much fun to plan a new project!

I mean something belonging to a special look - like when my son went into hip-hop style and then Goth. This Noosa bracelet looks like something with a name to it

I love the turqouise ones!

I wonder if the word you are looking for is Bohemian or BoHo?

Hi Allison,

I tried to respond to your PM, but I'm not allowed to yet so I hope you see this!

Thank you for the welcome! I usually shop online for TB. But when my daughter is here next month, we're going to the shop in Boulder. Where do you shop?

I heard (or read) about Trollbeads when I was looking for Pandora beads online in 2008. At that time I had started a Pandora bracelet when a nearby spa/salon had them and the stores didn't. Anyway, I saw the MUCH COOLER Trollbeads and started the bracelet for my daughter. Not that long ago, I sold amy Pandora on eBay and have gone all OCD with Trollbeads and artisan beads.

Anyway, thanks for your PM Allison!
