Re: Faerybeads baby dragon

Personally I'd vote for small cores, but I understand that bigger cores would make the designs available for a bigger market.

A large core would offer other collectors than TB fans the possibility to wear Faerybeads too and that's the market TB is aiming for right now too. But many people here on BT are originally TB collectors and not interested in larger cored beads. I personally don't mind with silver beads as I have many beads I love from other brands that have bigger cores (like RBF and Ohm) but if I'm asked in advance and could choose I'd prefer small cored beads!

I feel the same as Mermaidspurse.

Dragon scale chain sounds interesting! First the Faerybeads will just go on my tb chain but if this chain you're talking about looks a bit like this Faerybeads baby dragon - Page 3 Ach500652-0

Faerybeads baby dragon - Page 3 Ach500652-0

I'm definately gonna add that as well bounce

He is lovely and at the top of my wish list! I think I would have a slight preference for small cores.

by DblJJ Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:22 pm

Agree with MMP if asked in advance I would prefer small core but should large core be
choosen I would still puchase the bead. The design is what moves me. just MHO

dragon chain sounds awesome to me!!! I just "lend" one of my bracelets to my eldest so could do with a new one :-)
For me personally I would prefer small core beads but if they are gorgeous enough and it doesn't show to much on a chain I guess I wouldn't really mind I have UU's to so :-)

Next design ?? did I read that correctly?? ooh I'm already curious!! :-)

Never seen a dragon scale chain, but if it looks like this one, I may very well switch over to these all together.....This chain is awsome!!!!!!!

Sita....you never cease to amaze me!!!!! Can you get a necklace also like this??? Bye bye TBs chains.....

by wilsche Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:25 pm

wow....that dragon scale chain! Love

by TrollFantasy Mon Nov 28, 2011 2:24 pm

The picture I posted is just the first one I found when googling dragon scale chain Wink

. I really don't no what the chain Sita is arranging looks like. Just to be clear Wink

We've been in contact for nearly a year but it had nothing to do with designing. When Fera's dragon lock design was promoted to be designed I carefully checked with Ruth if she was interested, but it got overlooked and we never discussed it again. Until recent when I send the play-doh dragon and the promotion pictures of the green jewel eyed dragon lock. The rest is history.

BTW, how about "Norbert" for a name? Though it is less fearsome than Hagrid's tiny Norwegian Ridgeback.

Norbert will be available through this forum, my jeweler/producer's shop in Utrecht, I'll be working on a webshop and of course Ruth will also sell the beads directly from Australia.

And I've got a question for you!
Should Faerybeads be designed with a small core similar to Trollbeads or a large core?

Norbert has a large core similar to Bowerbeads (Ruth's wildlife series) and the next design as well. But the ones we are planning/designing how would you like it?

We will also release at least one dragon chain. Fit for small core beads. Another dragon scales chain is currently produced by a Fair Trade organization in Cambodia that I worked with 15 years ago. But until I've got a new sample I can't offer that one yet.

Small core , a chain , a necklace and a webshop!
AND THE KITTY GOBLIN! bounce

That's an excellent specimen of a dragon scale chain. But it is an OOAK chain. I think that unfortunately the links are too complex for a thinner (charm bead) bracelet chain. This one has a diameter of 8mm. And we need 3.0-3.3mm at the most.

by TrollFantasy Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:36 pm

@Beadthrilled Yeah, I think the one I found was 6 mm but that is still way to big for a beadbracelet. Didn't know this might not be possible for a thinner one. Still excited to see the chain you're releasing Very Happy

by Wintertroll Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:33 pm

Very cool! Now TB's baby dragon will have a buddy to hang around with Razz

MMP said it very well.

Super cute bead!!!

by LindaJo Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:23 pm

I vote for the smaller, Troll-size cores.
On the other hand, if the dragon chain doesn't come that skinny, then maybe holes big enough for the dragon chain you can get.

by Trolls Tue Nov 29, 2011 12:31 am

So much happening but all good news!!!

Looking forward to se how everything comes together....

As you asks the question Sita...I must say that I much prefer the small core beads BUT I can understand the commercial acspects in releasing large core Faerybeads Smile

by TinaLee Tue Nov 29, 2011 12:36 am

I vote for the small core whenever possible. I prefer to see as little "open air" as possible at the core.

It's so exciting to be at the start of a new adventure!

by **BeadThrilled** Tue Nov 29, 2011 12:47 am

Faerybeads is about aesthetics. We're just need to make sure the chains will be a must have too and any other brands' beads will fit as well... Wink

by zuzu's petals Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:10 am

Norbert is such a sweet little fellow, the dragon scale chain is TDF.
This is all so exciting.

by Trollsister Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:15 pm

Just found this thread, how exciting! Norbert is an amazing dragon (love the name.) I would prefer small core beads too, if given a choice, but will be very happy with either. It would be great to have a dragon scale chain to match the size of the beads, if at all possible. Thank you Sita, for asking and for bringing Faerybeads to life!

by freya Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:34 pm

Is there any idea of the release date for the beautiful baby?

by Troglodyte Thu Dec 01, 2011 10:11 am

What a triumph, Sita. I love the thought of a new dragon chain, are you exploring the idea of an FN too? Maybe a dragon egg on the end?
