My very first bracelet! Empty My very first bracelet!

Post by Chuuie Sat Jun 30, 2012 9:56 pm

I just recently started collecting beads, and am becoming dangerously obsessed Smile This is my very first bracelet, and I used my fav color (olive green) as the main color so it was extremely hard to find matching colors for continuity! I really wanted this bracelet to reflect "me" and things that matter to me!

My very first bracelet! First_16

First bead is a no-name brand bead that says "I <3 Pizza" I just thought it was the funniest random bead I had ever seen and felt I needed to own it to reflect my random silly nature Wink
Second is an olive green pave bead, because olive green is my favorite color and its extremely hard to come by olive green murano glass!
Third is an Ohm Devil Rubber Duckie, because I collect rubber ducks Very Happy
Fourth and Twelfth is a Chamilia Olive stone spacer bead, and the end goal is to have 5 of them, one for each semester of my academic program i complete with straight A's (in a few weeks I plan to add my third one! Halfway done with school!)
Fifth is an Ohm Smart Rat, because ratties are my little fur babies and the light of my life.
Sixth is another pave bead with olive and hot pink, my second favorite color Smile
Seventh is the Trollbead Water bead, but I selected it because it is the same polyhedral shape as a d20, which fits perfect for me because I am a serious D&D player Smile
Eighth and Tenth are Trollbead Kimono beads... I really love how they have that smooth matte finish... very unique!
Ninth is a Trollbead Pink Silver Trace... I love hot pink almost as much as olive Wink
Eleventh is an Ohm Guinea Pig, another of my trifecta of beloved critters Smile
Thirteenth is a Chamilia Cherry dangle... I have always used cherries as a motif and its one of my fav fruits Smile
Fourteenth is an Ohm Computer... because I am truly a complete geek!

And thats my first bracelet! I am pleased with it, though I would really like a bead for a squirrel and a video game bead and something to reflect I am a vegetarian other than a boring carrot >.> What do you guys think? Is it a noble first effort? Smile

Love it! Very personal. Ohm beads are great for personal details, loves, and quirks.

LOL! OMG, i LOVE pizza too!!! Razz Thanks for sharing your great bracelet. The olive/raspb. is a great mix! Looking forward to more of your combos...starting to think beads are more addictive than carbs...buuut its a close race!!

oh and for the vegetarian...how about the "mouse on cheese" bead??

Very cool, Chuuie! You did a great job putting all these meaningful things together, I'm sure you really enjoy wearing this bracelet.

I LOVE hot pink as well, and Pizza is BY FAR my favorite food, must find that bead Wink

"Dangerously Obsessed" is probably the best descriptor I've ever heard regarding our bead longings! Great first bracelet & the stories behind each selection were great! You've done well on your first go round!

Your bracelet is fab - I love that each bead is meaningful. My 1st bracelet was a mess Embarassed as I randomly collected beads that I liked the look of without any thought about how they would look together!
