Show your bracelet with the smiley bead!

In another forum there is a thread like this, for people to show the designs they have with their smileys, and as I couldn´t find one like this in here, I decided to make one.

Please show your beautiful designs with this really special beads!

ooo will do this xxbut will have to be tomorrow xxxxx

Here are a few pictures I found from before. There are only two smilie beads from the Found-a-Bead competition that TB ran- the brown with green face (mine sent with love from a dear friend)and the dark blue with light blue face (DD's- again sent from a dear friend). The others are artisan 'kitchen beads'.

Here's my one in a Christmas combo

Here is my Christmas bracelet with my new and only smiley


great thread

Great bracelets everyone, lovely to see that so many people are using their Smily beads

Heres my gifted smiley,I was vey honoured to have been gifted this smiley when they very first came out xxx


after searching for a long time I managed to swap this smiley for an armadillo. I have given this to my youngest daughter x


and just before xmas my luck came in and I managed to find my last smilie which will go to my eldest daughter xxxx Cant wait for it to arrive xxx

I have two Smileys. The green/yellow one I got from my LD during the 'found a bead' event



And the red one I 'found' in the window decoration of a shop almost a year later and got it for free too!
Here it is on my 'Danish Flag' combo:

what beautiful smileys...you are lucky girls to have smiley.

so you swaped your smiley for an armadillo or was the other way round? If it is how I think and you and your two daughters have a smiley each, that is really, really nice.

I love this thread Engel! Thanks for thinking of that....I think everyone's combos with their smiley are beautiful......I was also very, very fortunate to have a dear friend overseas (from me in the states since we didn't have the promotion) send me a surprise package one day and this GORGEOUS (favorite color green) bead fell out....A SMILEY!!!! To me it is the most perfect, plump, fun bead! Until I could get him on his own bracelet with the perfect companions I kept him on a double silver bracelet! I'll find the photos and post one of the bracelet that he now lives on permanently! Until then....here is Sir Eggbert (notice he has a cute pointy head!)!

yes the person didnt want to sell but wanted to swap as she managed to get them gifted x so I swapped for a purple armadillo which at that time was really wanted!lol
originally I had an artisan smiley made for my two girls as I couldnt dream of getting another x then last year I got this one and it sat in my box till I finally just before xmas found another so both my girls will have there own real smilies xx

what cute little critters...

OOHHH i like this thread !!

Wow love your double silver bracelet with Smiley Trollingalong. Great to hear the stories. My red Smiley I managed to get through a swap (cherry dillo) with my friend at my LD.

Thank you Beadgirl! I've changed my double silver to now include a few of my favorite retired silver and also some gold beads! I love how rich red your Smiley is! I'd happily swap a rosy dillo for a smiley! I would have had a hard time if Smileys had been available over here.....I would have been scouring places to find one and knocking folks over if I did! I'm so blessed to have one!

I found the photos of Sir Eggbert on his permanent braclet.....there are many favorite beads on there but I think Sir Eggbert stands out....you can see what Baby Troll thinks of Sir Eggbert!! NOT friendly thoughts!!

This is my family of happy faces
The translucent green with yellow faces was given to me on a visit to the lovely city of Copenhagen in 2009 and the blue with yellow faces was given to my friend..... she never used it as it didn't fit on her bracelet so we did a swap. The black with yellow faces was another swap from a very special friend..... the rest have come from ebay and took a long time to collect

I am not a great fan of the smiley bead, but I do have to say that yours all look pretty fun! I like how they kind of pop right out there and say "hi there!" in such a happy way.

So glad you found one more for girl 2! I´ll stop looking for that last one now.
I have since traded the dillo. And I did pay for the smileys I found. I just felt that it wasn´t the original idea and trading would be more fair to the spirit of the bead. Super happy now that you all have one each!!!

This is an old photo and I have tweaked this bracelet - but here is mine:

This is tremendous Joolz!!!!

I love all the smileys shown in this thread! TFS. Its so lovely that you all have smileys in your family now, Rainbow, good job!

Here is mine on my first ever completed bracelet



They came out not that long after I started collecting. I have to admit I don't really ever wear it, but I would never be parted from it, it is a reminder of a very special day

This is such a great thread. Everyone's bracelets are so stunning. I would love a translucent Smiley in green or pink or blue
