Darkangel, I love the chakra beads. They are so beautiful and unique. I actually went to buy one today but the colors were all wrong for my bracelet of dark reds. You really have to see the beads in person. It's unbelievable how the colors can vary so much! I ended up buying a white murano with black squiggles in it (I have forgotten the name!) and the faces fable bead. Here is a picture of my bracelet today. I change it daily.
Now I'm taking over the thread! It's so funny to me that every time I post a picture of my bracelet I can't believe what a mess it looks like! I'm so happy wearing it, I layer it with my Pandora, and I'm thrilled. I love the combination of beads on my wrist. But when I look at the posted picture it looks like a huge mess compared to all the other pictures! I wonder if people think I'm 13 or something. Wow.
Your white bead is a white steel! Very nice! I love the Fabled Faces, I made sure to grab one last year. He's now a retired bead, so good score!
What do you see wrong with your bracelet?
I usually am a blue/purple.green girl, so the orange belly chakra bead is usually a solo bead that I pair with my Pandora buddha and my lotus.
Thanks Kitsunegrl! I'm so glad I was able to get some retired beads. I felt really lucky to find the baby troll too!

Darkangel, I don't seem to design my bracelets with a pattern. I buy what I like and am too impulsive. I'm happy when I'm wearing it but when I see it off my wrist it looks a bit thrown together. Your combinations sound really nice.
Yesterday-I discovered another troll bead store quite a distance away. I asked the woman if they had any retired beads on sale. She said that they never go sale. She then asked me where I bought mine and I told her in another town and I didn't tell her where. She said the name of the store. I was surprised because it is a good hour and forty minutes from her store. I hope this doesn't cause trouble for my store. I guess there are so few stores in my area that sell troll beads they all know of each other.
Thank you! Hm. Maybe you could wear less beads at a time? Some folks wear the bracelet filled up completely, but some folks only wear a few beads at a time... Maybe that look would suit you more?
After reading about Red Bali Frogs on here, I checked them out. You are right about the level of detail.
They've become my new obsession! I have over $300 worth of them in my shopping cart the other day and had to hurry up and shut the browser down because I did something rash, l ol
