Bower beads has a dragon lock that is very cool looking. If you are on BT, they are in the works of making a dragon lock through the startup company Faerybeads that looks absolutely amazing.

I was just looking at that doing a search there, but it wouldn't let me read more because it said I have to have special access? I've only had one post, so is that why?
 
I think the new barrel-shaped beads will give an interesting look to the bracelets.
I'm going to have to see them IRL though.
I wonder if this is part of a trend and we will see more of this shape in the future.
 
I started to collect Trollbeads at 23 of december of 2011, and bought the Lace Lock and a silver chain.


First of all, pictures of what arrived today in the post for me, one from the LD that was having the online promotion with the bracelet with the chain, retired mexico lock and peacock pearl, the other 2 from my very first troll fairy, with my 2 anniversary troll locks!!! I am beyond excited!

I tried to show the beautiful colors my mexican lock has, green on one side, and green/orange on the other! it looks amazing and the pictures don't do it justice. (I also have another mexico lock on its way to me, that I bought from another online store that was having it with 25% off, and can't wait to receive the new one! I hope for blue/purple on that one)

Ok so I went to the place that has the Trollbeads, about an hour away and it was so much FUN!! All these beads I've only seen online I got to see in person. My first impression was that wow, the glass beads are small. In pics I thought they'd be large and chunky, bigger than the glass muranos but that wasn't so. Also, two of the same beads could have different coloring, different size, one fatter than the other, etc. If I hadn't already ordered some beads from BeadznBagz I would have just got them in store, but hopefully my order will come through and soon.

I was also surprised at how expensive the silver beads were, the small plain silver beads were like $47 for several that I liked and I asked her why and she said due to the amount of silver in there, something like 9.8 or somesuch? So I don't know, I may have to get the silver beads from Pandora and the glass beads from Trollbeads, but I did get the silver crab and the sea treasures one while I was there.

I picked up a bracelet with a fish clasp for both me and my daughter, we're both going to do a beachy them. Plus I have the bracelet/mexican lock combo I ordered that I'll do my earthy theme with.

Phew! :happydance:



LOL
your collection REALLY is growing!
and your daughters too! :D

I corrected myself, it's Red Bali Frog, not Bower Beads, my bad! Here is a link:'

Your TB addiction is quickly growing!!! Love the Mexico lock. Never got around to getting it from there lol. Is it still available, do you know?

I ordered the one from steffans when the price was reduced, but those are gone now, I ordered a second mexico lock that didn't arrive yet, 25 per cent reduced in price from Robinson goldsmith
