Halloween collection (pic heavy)

That is very exciting - congratulations! I love the look of it on a necklace by itself

Just passing along my appreciation!  Yesterday, I placed an order for the sleeping bat bead and spooky bat lock.  As soon as I saw them, I loved the design and knew I had to have them (which BTW were my only purchases from the new release).  I've slowed down on my TB collecting and only purchase items that I really love. Congrats on having your designs produced and being such a big hit!

Well done!!

me too!

Wow, a hearty congratulations on your super contribution to the TB lineup!  I love the sleeping bat and pre-ordered it because I was thinking that it would be perfect on a black leather necklace.  So glad to see that your picture - it looks fantastic by its solitary, peaceful self!

Congrats on having your design made
You must be over the moon

The bats are so very popular. I went to a shop yesterday (the release date!) and they had already sold out on bats - everything, beads, earrings, locks.....
So it's still on my wish list

Congratulations!
It is totally awesome to have your designs made into a whole collection, well done!

Fantastic! What a joy.

Wonderfull! :-)

After seeing this I decided to buy the earrings too and ask my LD, if he can make rings on them, so I can wear them as dangle on a bracelet or pendant on a necklace.

That's really nice Swisstroll!! My dealer also put rings on one set of earrings for my parents to wear them on a normal necklace They work really well like that!

OMG!! GASP GASP! that is AMAZING!!! Congratulations!! Must have a bat, now that i "know" the designer, wink, wink. WHOOO HOOO!! (or whatever noise a bat makes)

That is the best news ever! Congratulations! I love the bats even more now!

Thank you all for the nice responses! Except my family, not many around me really gets my excitement about this and since I couldn't share it here for a whole year I've been talking about it a lot to my friends and colleagues and by know they're sick of me and my bats So thank you for sharing my excitement! And I look forward to all the Halloween combos this year, I always do, but this year in particular

That was really a great idea! I bet they loved them!

Oh that must be an amazing feeling as these designs have had such a great reception! Congratulations; they are fab designs and so deserved to be made.

Congratulations, love the way your bat designs have turned out. It must have been hard keeping your secret so long. I am not into Halloween, but I can definitely see a bat dangling on my permanent Australia bracelet, for our lovely flying foxes (fruit bats).

Exactly my thought too.

Congratulations!! These are definitely my favorites from the new collection too and will be my first purchases. I can't wait to add the bat to my Halloween bracelet

Halloween earrings on necklace,

well, I wanted them done as a dangle but my jeweller who could do it is on holidays, so ... for today I put them on my necklace with the help of a little charm carrier I got long time ago and one of them I used a simple basic TB clasp,
so, if anyone doesn't want to "destroy" the earrings and doesn't mind the long dangly bit from the clasp, it is possible, you can also take the big end and use it at the end of your bracelet.

Nice idea

I bought a set of bat earrings today. One will be mounted with a ring for my Halloween bracelet. I will try your approach with the other before deciding whether or not to mount it with a ring too or to just use one earring.

Really nice earring bats!!!!

The new Inner Strength has rather rosy glass; it looks lavender in all the stock photos . . . the bat looks right at home on your bracelet.  

Today I gave my bat earrings to a jeweller (attachment of small silverring so that they can be worn as a pendant) ....
ugghh... that is very pricey, he charges me for both the material 4 Euro, and for the soldering for both 28 Euro...if I had known in advance...but now I had already set my mind on it..

how much does it cost in your country? this was Germany, in Switzerland I did not ask, would have been even more expensive!

hmmm, the little silver ring my jeweller put on my flower pendant was 1€ but it's not soldered. When I asked why it was so cheap, he said because they almost cost nothing. I don't know what he would charge for soldering but my guess would be about 5€ based on what I paid for the work on my silver casts. It's a little family owned jeweller but no TB or other brands dealer.

ah Minty, I thought that was very very expensive, but too late, I had bought the earrings with the intention to have them made into dangles and there was no point of getting back, the earrings are really lovely, very detailed, so I hope they will make great dangles, albeit, very expensive in the end, I tried one more shop before, but it was more or less the same...
will show once they are ready, app. one week... the guy told me...

Congratulations x These are amazing beads. I absolutely love them and I love everyone's ideas x
