2 New Dream Beads

by Bugladydi Fri May 18, 2012 2:17 am

I am home today recuperating from Oral Surgery which gives me some time to play with beads! With the help of a few Troll Fairies here (Anita, Omgbeads and Vampbutterfly - thank you all for your help in getting these lovely beads!!!! Hug

) I have nearly completed my bracelet with the latest addition of two of my dream beads ~ the Old Earth and Snake beads. All beads are Troll. The colors seem a little washed out in the bright sunlight though. I would like to replace the Mardi Gras bead with something else but what that would be I cannot figure out! Suggestions are welcome! Very Happy

Beautiful combo and nice collection of beads Very Happy

Your Mardi Gras is perfect for this bracelet, but it should be moved about until you find the right place - maybe right next to pyramids, or maybe swap places with the amber next to the silver stopper.

Very nice. My first reaction was to swap the center amber with the Mardi Gras as Mardi Gras will tie the amazonite and amber colors together. Your collection of silvers is TDF!! As is that lock!!

I would keep the Mardi Gras in this bracelet... it is perfect in this mix!

Bracelet is very Lovely, how Hard is it to get a Old earth bead?

Old Earth is not easily come by these days and the price is unbelievable! The last few that have sold on eBay have gone for something like $900 US. Shocked

The ones you do see get snapped up pretty quickly.

Wonderful combo each bead complments the next and the silvers are TDF!! I'm scheduled for oral surgery on the 30th would be nice to have some wish list beads to play with. Hope all is well....
