New obsession/Show your stacks!

SHOW YOUR MINI-MINIs, Bangles, and STACKS!

HAPPY FRIDAY Beadfriends! Whoot! recent bead play has solved a few "probs" (even if temporarily):
1) the most recent troll spring campaign video has had me mesmerized...just love the look of all the yummy stacks on the models arm. i nearly want to lick her wrist! (talk about effective marketing on this one, plus new age music is always hypnotic "buy me! try me!" must be the subtext...but i digress...) have you watched it: http://www.trollbeadsuniverse.com/united-states/en-us/news/spring-2013
2) haven't taken the bangle plunge, but love bangles and the look and idea of featuring just few beads...
3) a lot of times wearing full bracelets means I don't wear my other bracelets and bangles...(for example, got a heart bracelet for vday and thought, ohhh how sweet, but i'll never wear this w/my beads (the beads! the beads!))

so i'm newly obsessed w/ trying mini-mini bracelets, just one glass w/ silvers placed at 2 spots on a regular TBs foxtail chain to try for similar effect. so far i've done these combinations but have others in mind. it seems like a nice way to re-appreciate old beads AND has let me wear other bracelets w/them.

how do you feature just a few beads and stack w/other stuff?

SHOW YOUR MINI-MINIs, Bangles, and STACKS!

Great stacking. It's nice to just wear a few beads and make space for your other jewellery

very charming!

Plumbun,
what great designs you have !!
I'm gonna try it now
And fun topic !!

Wow! These are wonderful. I'm going to have to give this a go.

That is so pretty - it really highlights your lovely pearls! I think I might have to get some stoppers

Oh, I love mini combos and I love stacking my Troll with other bracelets.

Here's a few pics, I've shown them before.

LindaJo,
i love your mini's and eclectic taste !!

Just 1 question. I am always scared when wearing my watch and TB together,
the watch will scratch the glass Trollbeads.
Cause they do bump into eachother and even roll over each other.
Does that happen with yours ?

Here are mine that i made yesterday,
inspired by Plumbun

love your mini designs... I never thought of staggering a few beads at a time on the same bracelet, very inspiring

That production video also grabbed by attention. I have not attempted to stack yet. I also need to acquire a bangle, but I do have leather and three silver bracelets.

ohhh that's pretty too! gold always adds such lush, rich warmth. "sadly" i have none, lol (shutting my eyes now!!) say, do you ever wear your pandora bracelet alongside a troll bracelet, and do you ever put the pandora beads on your troll chain? i've been wondering about their lucky cat and gem evil eye....

keep looking at these, trying to decide on a "fav" and it's really tough!! (maybe the first and last?? but not like it matters, they are all fab. love the chunky cream flowers and would love to pick the jewelry box that is your brain!) i have such a hard time mixing a watch in, esp w/more casual styles and you've encouraged me to keep trying!! TFS

I love mini combos..it is a great way to enjoy a few special beads.

I wear these together and the other one on the other hand.

I tried it a long time ago to wear Pandora beads on my Trollbeads bracelet mixed with TB beads,
but now i do not to that anymore. Not sure why ... I think i wanna keep them seperate.

And it is for the first time now since long,that i wear the 2 bracelets on 1 arm.
Normally i wear OR the Trollbeads,
OR the Pandora,depending on my mood ...
because i sometimes feel/think that they are 2 different styles and can not be mixed ...

But after seeing LindaJo's mixed styles, i thought "what the hell"
and tried it anyway !!
I am being BOLD today
Hope it looks nice ...

It looks just lovely!!

All of the designs in the this are awe-inspiring!

TrollRose, I can't say as I've noticed any damage to the glass beads or watch crystal. It's just easier for me to wear bracelets on my left wrist. I'm right-handed, and I find they get in the way on my right hand.

And, yes, I do mix bead brands on my bracelets. But most of my collection is Troll.

I am really loving these bracelets and the stacked look! Gorgeous!

Me too! Fabulous looks!

These all look great. I like how you've created two separate areas for beads, so if the bracelet spins around there'll still be something to see.
