Re: About kimono's and other japanese beads

TFS, I had never heard before of the Ohm beads (should I be ashamed now??), but the designs look great. Would be fun to build a bracelet around one theme, but with several different bead marks.

OMG! there are so many great choices! I may have missed it but the new tb cherry blossoms bead is perfect for the kimono set.

I love the ohm kimonos and redbalifrog's beads go without saying. Amanda has such beautiful beads in her selection.

ps...the tb pisces bead could almost pass for kois.

I think those beads are very Japanese!! There are certainly Buddhas all over the place in Japan and Happy Fish.....come on!! The koi are very happy swimming all around! Perfect choices.

And remember there will be a Japanese World Tour release too!!!

Mmmmh... If I'm lucky to get some Kimono beads, do I finally need my starsign (pisces) too? O dear, this is getting more and more tempting and expensive...

I personally think that the Pisces bead is the nicest one out of all the current Trollbead starsign beads!
I'm planning to just include a few Japanese inspired Trollbeads with soon to be my Kimono beads (tomorrow!!!!) Just need to buy the Origami bead...and a plain lock....

I agree with you about the Pisces bead. I love that one. Plus you could put it on an ocean themed bracelet as well. Multipurpose!! Very Happy

The Troll Chinese silvers might work really well too. And there's a couple of nice fish beads available from Bower Beads too which are great quality. I still like the RedBaliFrog fish themed beads too ... Kim

With Japan being the next worldtour country I thought it might be a good idea to give this thread a boost Smile

hehehe that sushi bead is really cute!

Ok, at first I really hope that there will be a new Lock - like the Tulip Lock but now I know that there are "only" Beads. I would like the Koi Bead or an other Flower Bead... let us see what there will be. I´m still waiting!
