Special silvers and different coloured 'dillo's

I don't often share designs because I feel I can't possible come up with combo's that are as beautiful as the ones other members post, but I would like to share this design with you anyway .

All the silvers (with the exception of etruscan) and some of the glass on this bracelet were gifted to me by friends and family. The three monkeys and blue china were my first beads which I got with the bracelet and lock for my birthday just over 4 years ago from a group of friends; the tupilaks and aztec I was gifted for my birthday last year; the midgard serpent was a surprise gift from my mum; the viking I got from my BF's aunt for Sinterklaas; the castle bead was sent to me by my lovely SS 2010; the hare and the tortoise (and the old AF!) were gifts from three dear troll friends and the turquoise 'dillo was a gift from BF. They mean a lot to me

Next to that, meet my new 'dillo's! First, there's the blue/white 'dillo. A fellow trollie on here read my retired glass wish list and helped me obtain a beautiful one! I'm not sure whether you are able to see it in the pictures, but the shading in the 'loops' of the blue lines looks like great smokey eye shadow to me! (I hope that makes sense ) Then there are the two dark turquoise/teal ones. A Dutch lampworker (and fellow trollie!) made them at my request and I think they turned out beautiful. I love how different they are. The one with most blue in it looks just like the turquoise 'dillo in TB's line but darker!

Beautiful! The colors are wonderful and I LOVE the story of each bead. That's what makes a bracelet so special, the people who are behind it when you look at your lovely bracelet.

Great job!

Just gorgeous! Love the OOAK dillos!
