Takma Fun!

Many moons ago Kionee posted a bracelet full of takmas and uniques that was unforgettable. My trollbuddy and I still talk of that bracelet. Here is my interpretation. I love wearing it.

As a side note - I recently got a new scanner (Epson V600) and decided to try it out for scanning bracelets. Seems to work just fine!

I haven't seen your inspiration for this, but you have a delightful design here.
I really like the takmas and you've chosen some terrific beads to compliment them.

This is one fabulous bracelet, Lisa. Dark chocolate, cherries and cream. Yum!

Outstanding!

Briliant combination!

You have some gorgeous beads here,, beautiful.

I still have that bracelet Lisa ... but yours is great too!

Lisa, love Takmas. This combo is great with the Honey Bud and glittery ooak.

@ Kionee May we see your combo as well?

Hope you don't mind, Lisa?

The BT members here are so creative! Lovely combos!

Tell me about it! I'm sitting here trying to close my mouth with no success! These are gorgeous !

both are gorgeous!

Oh thanks Kionee! It's great to see that Takma beauty again. I'm so glad you still have the photo.

Two stunning combos!!
So different but yet both based around the same bead

Both bracelets are lovely. So is the image from your scanner, lisa. I'll have to remember that possibility since I haven't gotten a good pic yet and wouldn't know how to post one anyway.

What does "takma" mean, BTW?

Love both of them, and I will try the scanner also!!

Great bracelet, and did you mean you just literally put the bracelet on the scanner bed the result was the attached photograph? That is a great idea!

Both are beauties. Love them.

Both stunning, and inspirational! TFS

Yes, just put it down and scanned. Love my Epson! You don't have to worry about lighting.

Thanks for the kind words everyone about the bracelet. Makes me feel more confident in posting bracelets.

Takma is the name of the swirly beads from the Tibet set. Not sure what it actually means.

Both are really special and gorgeous I think

I love both the bracelets!!

But what a great idea to make the picture on a scanner! It sounds a lot less bother and is a perfect result.

Fabulous combos......definitely ones to plagiarise.

My scanned pics are nothing like that..maybe my scanner is not as good or I need to look at the settings.

Beaadicak this is what is says on TBU

It says Takma is the name of the Indian Rhododendron plant..
