Very challenging & unique OOAK

I normally don't do 100% symmetrical designs...either I don't have the beads for it or I happen to go with something else, but for this bracelet it just seemed to work better.

I really thought this harlequin OOAK was gorgeous and a very unique "unique" However, BOY was it tough to make a combo with. It has such a mish-mash of colors going on. Pink opaque base, reds, greens, blues, even a tiny glint of yellow...for a long while it just sat in my bead box because I didn't even know where to START with it

Now I'm happy with this combo and it's cheery mix of colors. My blue tiger's eyes also found a home here, whereas previously I only managed to put them on a bangle by themselves with a couple silvers.

This bracelet is special for a lot of reasons. It is in honor of some very special people in my life, my kids and my mom. All their initials and favorite colors are incorporated, the hearts represent my love for them, and the crazy colors for the fun we always have together. Also, the left tiger eye was my VERY FIRST Trollbead!

You have the very best type of bracelet, meaningful and fun. It's really terrific.

Great job on this Stacecase! I have a Trollstone with colors very similar to your OOAK. Thanks for the inspiration. I also love your two flower OOAKS.

One of the rare truly unique "uniques"!!
You did a great job finding a cozy place for him.

awesome design

A M A Z I N G job Stacey!!!!! this bracelet is gorgeous!!!! I love the unexpected designs and unusual combos!!! Love it!

You did amazing with the harlequin. What a gorgeous bead!

I can see that this unique would be a challenge to combine . . . but you were obviously up to the challenge -- beautiful bracelet!!!

It is a beautiful bead and very unique, I can see where it would be a challenge to use on a bracelet, but looking at yours you would never know it, seems to just belong there!

What a wonderful unique OOAK! And you did a great job "finding" the most beautiful bracelet for him!

Great job !
Sometimes a bead is just so special you have to buy it even if you aren't sure how you are going to use it

Love the results of the difficult bead challenge.

A really lovely bracelet

I agree, beautiful bracelet! your OOAK is gorgeous and you have given him the best place that he really deserves! well done!

Thank you! Ooh I'd love to see your trollstone. Can you post a photo?

I discovered a bead (Mandy Ramsdell) in my bead box that goes even better with this bracelet, so I've tweaked it again Also decided that I could live without the OOAK, so it's now for sale in the sale thread

Looks fantastic. Gorgeous OOAK x You've done a great job with your bracelet x

Gorgeous! Mandy has such whimsical big holes! I am in love with the faceted blue tiger's eye! Drool! Really pretty combination!
