Combo's I Have Been Wearing Lately

Birds & the Bees, Flowers & the Trees

I designed this bracelet around my little bee. Originally it was going to be gold and brown. One day I went a little purple crazy and bought a bunch of purple beads…so not like me I had something different in mind for the purples but the color did not match what I had planned. The bee and purple beads sat alone in my beadbox when, Eureka! I put them together and I love how it turned out. Birds of Paradise to represent Birds; bee unique and bee on hive to represent Bees; flower glass, elder flowers and frangipani beads to represent Flowers; to represent the Trees I used amber to since it is 1 million year old tree sap. It would be so cool to find a TB amber with a bee inside! The cherub is for love and the egg is for what happens after…. lol

I hope you like them, thanks for looking

What a nice summer to fall transition, TF! And so much eye candy!!   Where to even start (well--love the bee bracelet and the snake amber and and and).   Love them all!! YUM YUM!!

Oooh, so many yummy beads here. Particularly love the bee bracelet and the grey and red - what are the other barrel beads (i recognise the Escher ones)? I love them....

Love the lilac and orange bee bracelet, and the ambers grouped into tones, what is the lock on that one ? and the black and grey  and I think just one silver on your orange and green looks great !

Love all of your combos!!

Let me take the chance to ask something I've always wanted to ask. I see you have a RBF frangipani bead. I've always liked it but never bought it because I was afraid it could scratch the glass beads around it with its petals, did it ever happen to your glass beads?  

I really like the colors of your first bracelet and the second with liana's beads is amazing !!

Really nice, thank you for showing! I especially love your grey/brown/red combo!

Beautiful very different combos x I adore the red /grey one x

I need to try an orange and green combo. I think I have enough glass to do that now.

The red & grey one is stunning!

Love them all! Really love the carved amber. Where did you get it?

Well, this is quite a beautiful variety of bracelets that you have here. That carved snake is fabulous. Great job with the designs!

 whauw I really like the first bracelet a lot!!   

The red/grey one is amazing. I don't have a barrel silver yet and this might just push me over the edge!

Hi, Trollfinder!
Serendipity, I love it. The purple beads were meant to be found by you!

Love the red and grey bracelet, too.

Thank you everyone  

Those are all so lovely!

There are two prayer wheels by Suzanne Hopping and the center one is called Cool Band from BLOG beads, a mens bead line.

The lock is a zebra lock from Melina world, I love her locks I do like victory on the orange and green. I guess I will have to start another bracelet for the new faceted glass beads

I was worried about that when I got it but it is fairly new so I will have to check my beads when I get home, I will let you know. I think it will be ok, the edges aren't sharp or anything like that so I hope it will be ok

I got the carved ambers from Liana on this forum. Send her a pm, she has amazing stuff

I think so too! I was surprised they had not been snatched up before I found them, lucky for me

All the combos are stunning.

Really impressed!!!

Snake amber wins!
