Canoe and Axe combo

My Faerybead's Canoe and Axe arrived last week, I had been gathering already some beads for it and had some bead play...the first pics are the way I had meant my combo, I really loved it very much that way but... not one single outfit seemed to go with it,
i took it apart and with the final version I am completely happy,

The canoe is most lovely, but I had not expected the axe to make such a nice necklace, I have been wearing it all the time now and really really love it, thank you so much Sita!









final version now  

I love both versions. Both beads are really great. The axe makes a perfect necklace.

I agree, I think both combinations are really beautiful! But the second makes me think of rustic and natural places and seems so fitting

Both are beautiful, but the second one speaks more to me, too In that one I can totally see the free spirited warrior roaming river and forest and hunting and canoeing under the watchful eye of his totem animal, the Great Bald Eagle

The first version is very airy with a clever combined colorful glass beads is pleasure for eyes  I love that a little bit better. The second one is really perfect also!

wow, great...........both Versions are perfect! I think i could not decide which one i want to wear at first,
so beautiful !!!!

super great. all of your beads are awesome. all of them. great glass.

Catsworld, you have some unique beads and you are master of colours!!! Beauuuuuutiful!!!

Love the Southwestern feel. The Red Indian bead is cool, what brand is that?

The eagle is unexpected but works so well!

I bought it from a Swiss online shop, the guy was certainly NOT very nice, in fact quite a rude chap, never again!
Just when I bought him I found out that Novobeads does one that is far nicer,


Thank you all so much for your kind replies, really love wearing this combo!

I like the dark version !!

Oh my oh my *squeeee*
I love your combos Cats, the axe on your leather necklace is exactly how I wear mine, even your leather cord looks identical
And your southwestern bracelet combos are super awesome. They are made up of my favourite silvers and the faerybeads blend in perfectly. I like the lots of turquoise on the first bracelet but the second one with the grungy ambers is my favourite. What's the beautiful blue/grey triped stone on that one at 8 o'clock?

I'm totally smitten with your combos.

I really like the first colorful combination, but if you can't combine it, its less 'beautiful' That canoe is such a beautiful bead. And what a clever idea to wear the axe solo on a leather necklace, very sharp and slik

@Trollperle, I forgot to say thank you for your lovely little story around it, I am useless with such stories.

@Minty,
I really love your designs, the canoe is most wonderful and I was so unsure about the axe, but it has become my favourite one, it looks really great on that leather chain, I have not taken it off since I had it now (except for showering of course)

I still love the first version, but the second version is so much stronger and I am happy to use my ambers again, I have had them unused in the beadbox for too long.

Beautiful combos! I love both of them!

I your final version,Cats! Perfect!

Both versions are beautiful, I really like the colours of the first one, very unusual but so much fun And you have very pretty ambers.

The cano is a cutie!
