New Tigeriffic bracelet

I ordered some Perras beads and they just arrived yesterday.


Kathy Perras Tigeriffic bracelet by lautrerainey, on Flickr

I had to get a bracelet to put them on. While I was there I got another one for the Christmas bracelet I'm planning. So they gave me the tote bag. It's really very nice. It's fully lined, has a flat bottom and two pockets that are secured with Velcro.

Not sure how I'll use it. I've been committed to carrying my own bags for years so I'm already very well equipped with bags. But, still, this one is very cute well made and the sales girl was very excited about my having one. She's super sweet!

How beautiful! You wild animal you!

Gorgeous! I am always on the look for the original TB Siberian Tiger done by Kathy Perras.

What a fabulous bracelet!

Beautiful.

Gorgeous - love your Red Tiger Tail.

That looks great!!! I would like to see the tote bag too.... I'm a curious person, hihi

Here's a better pic than I could take. http://trollbeadbracelets.com/content/product.cfm?sessionid=56509181104322475&site_id=5&color=&pricerange=0&allowOrdering=true&displayType=Large&item_id=21023&parentCategory_id=0&category_id=206&startRow=1&searchValue=&currentPage=1

You can see the striped lining. The logo is printed on a pocket that's about 8" high and 10" wide. There's a second one next to it on the left. The fabrics are good quality and the straps are nylon webbing.

They look fantastic, great bracelet

Roar!!

Oh wauw!!! The bag is wonderful!! How lovely that you've got it Enjoy!!!

Your Kathy Perras beads are stunning! You have created a gorgeous combo with them.

Fabulous KP bracelet combo and I am admiring your gold leaf amber bead too, I LOVE those but don't yet own any.

You know, of all of them -- including the tigers -- I think that's my favorite too. I didn't choose it. I said I wanted some Siberian Tigers and I specified the colors of the 2 Tiger Tails and then I asked her to pick what would enhance them. She seemed most excited by the dichroic dillo. I really love the gold leaf. The amber glass that encloses it gives it such depth and interest.

Thanks. I'm thrilled.

Great beads, I really love the one next to your caramel dillo!!

And the tote bag sounds brilliant too

Congratulations on your new tiger beads. They are beautiful!

Very very pretty, I like that you used floral silvers, it make this combo
even more unique. I have two of the gold leaf beads and I love them.

I don't have any animal silver. ...except for a Noah's Ark ('cause I also collect Noah's Arks) and that didn't seem to fill the bill. So I went with what I had and hope it suggests the jungle. Sorta. I hope.

That is really a bracelet to admire. I love the jungle theme, with the redish bead, good choices of silver and just plain good pattern and color. I just think how good it would look wearing it with black and khaki, white and khaki or just about anything. Serious bead envy!

Fabulous bracelet! I love it very much!

The Daisy makes such a great centrepiece. Definitely putting on my wish list.

I keep putting off my ordering of the KP Siberian Tigers as I always think that I need to save for the next release. Your wonder bracelet may have just pushed me over the edge!

I think you have accomplished, that tropical jungle feeling beautifully. Although I love combos with animals ( I have on too) It's great to see a different spin.

I just got that and I could only afford it because Trollfinder was kind enough to tell us all about the Scandihoovians sale. I am thrilled with it.

It's a different mindset, of course, and I understand real collectors who could want the genuine TB retired bead, but that's not me. If I can have a lovely bead that enhances a bracelet I'm happy. I started with a lot of generic Murano type beads that have no provenance. :: I like 'em. And, often, if someone notices a bracelet, they'll complement one of my generics. ...we won't discuss that I've bought generics from eBay and thrown them out without a second thought...

Soooo, if the artisan who made the genuine bead is still making them and I can have a whole braceletful for what the original retired bead might cost, I'm there! But that's me. I make no pretense about what they are; I just enjoy them.

I'm relatively new and I bet you guys have had this discussion a million times around here, but that's what works for me. ...in case it made any difference to how you make your decision.


Oops! I just noticed that's probably not what you were talking about. My reading comprehension skills are lacking. But not it's there and I don't know how to remove it. Can't see a "delete" button. So I'm stuck showing myself to be a bit of a jerk. ::shrug again::
