How to train your dragon!

It took me long enough to take pictures and upload them, but for a couple of weeks now, a dragon in training is living with me!

He and I have had many adventures, testing his abilities and his strength! IHe told me his name is Norbert.

He and I had long talks, about my "fear" or whatever it is, of mixing beads of different brands together, and he told me to be bold, sassy, and go ahead and mix, they are all Engel´s beads, after all, he told me.

After much thought, and unable to resist the charms and sweet talk of lovely Norbert, I went ahead and mixed (a little!). Also, this is the first appearance of my trollbeads play tray in a picture! I got it when trollbeads boutique was giving them with purchases over 75 USD. It didn't come with the beads I purchased, so I thought it was a no go, but one week after the beads I ordered from them arrived, a second parcel made its way to my doorsteps, with the play tray on it! so I am thrilled to have it, makes it less messy to catch beads around the bead while bead playing!



From left to right, Faerybeads Aether test dragon lock (Norbert) , Trollbeads Tulip, Trollbeads purple easter egg (I dared to dangle for the first time ever!), Trollbeads re-released pink prism, Trollbeads anniversary flower, Trollbeads rutile quartz, Trollbeads german clover, Trollbeads peacock pearl, Trollbeads netherlands WT Van Gogh, Trollbeads White and glitter bead from the blue set of Christmas 2011, Trollbeads gold spacer, Pandora ring pillow (a gift from dear husband on our first valentines day as a married couple!), and the beads after that are all doubles of the ones I named already!





a picture of the bracelet on my wrist! Im starting to like to have one dangle in the end of the bracelet, so here are my thanks to Norbert for daring me to try!



and what you all want: close ups of Incredibly Handsome Norbert (this is the way he addresses himself, never mind him! )



He loved to sit around in a garden of flowers, he is in a good mood today!




shiuut, don't tell him I posted this picture, or he would kill me! but I needed to share how cute his tail is in between his legs! Like he is relaxed and comfortable but can attack at any minute at the same time! Lucky me he is loyal to me, so if anyone tries to attack me, I know Norbert will be there to protect me!



thank you all for reading.

and special thanks to our amazing Adm and bead thrilled/faerybeads team, for giving me the chance to be a trainer for Norbert! It means a lot to me!

I KNOW! the tail was such a lovely surprise! it is amazing how many details he has, it is breath-taking! He is feeling right at home indeed!

and he likes to brag about his strength!
as I told Sita, one time when coming home from the supermarket, while passing a plastic bag with groceries to Dear Husband, it got caught on Norbert, and he didn't open!

It makes me proud to having been able to test him!

my dragon is the little ones mentor but he needs some free time to hang about to so he is now on a necklace

The baby is doing great to! ahaha LOL but he is a little mischievous

I don't have the baby yet!
But I want 3 of them someday (one for a FN and 2 for a bracelet. But I will catch up slowly.

Today I ordered a dragons tail chain, though! my last bead related purchase for now, until AT LEAST middle may. april was a month I ran away from the wagon, now I need to run towards the wagon, haha

i know that feeling

other than the swap I made with a sweet member here there is no bead buying for me

but I know for sure if Faerybeads have more releases I'm in trouble

I surely am in trouble when Faerybeads is envolved! seems like I want every item of them I saw so far! BIIG TROUBLE!

specially because eske will make a design as well. but I will catch up, slowly but surely!

Incredibly Handsome Norbert can be proud, he does his species honor.

Thank you so much, LindaJo! He is all full of himself now!

He's fantastic, a very grown up dragon indeed!

He looks great. Love the oxidised look

Thank you, Ladies!!!

I will pass the compliments on to him!

Thank you! he can't wait for his brothers to arrive! (one with black and one with green diamond eyes!), they will be a big happy drake family!

Thumbs up for Norbert

I absolutely love Norbert What a great bracelet x

I am glad to hear that Norbert is training you so thoroughly. I like his influence on your bracelet which is gorgeous.

Norbert is so handsome !

Thank you for your photo's!!

Looking at them, I think I wear the lock just the other way around... So I should need a left-hand lock, to wear right hand... I close the bracelet the other side. Hope you understand what I mean...

Anyway, what a cute dragon you have. Enjoy!!!

Gorgeous Engel!! I'm so glad to see your bracelet design. It looks great. And Norbert surely lives up to his name

Thank you all for the kind comments! I see that I am finally having enough beads to make semi-decent combos (still doesn't live up to my expectation, but they can make me reasonably happy already!)

can't wait to add more beads to my collection, which will surely happen over the year and beyond that, but I'm just so impatient. here is me, once again wishing i was rich to buy all the beads I want! but maybe if i bought them all at once, some of the fun would be gone, right? its what i try to tell myself! lol
