Making a ring out of three Troll-type beads

Karin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:11:26 +0000

The back story is that years ago my great-aunt brought me back lovely charms from Scandinavia. I had the jeweler permanently solder them on the bracelet. Lately I wanted to make it more Troll-friendly. It was just blah, sort of, without any Troll -- and feeling quite lonely, LOL! And I wasn't wearing it . I purchased several clip beads that I felt I could clip between the charms. That worked, but didn't give any color, and I was afraid I might lose the clip if it wasn't clipping tight enough over the chain.

Yesterday I beaded pearls and Swarovski crystals to alternate between some of the charms -- that added color and left me with lonely clip beads.

After some tweaking, I made a ring. It's going to be a favorite!

IF YOU WANT IT TO BE ENTIRELY INTERCHANGEABLE: USE 1-3 CLIP BEADS depending on the size of your finger across or if you want to wear it on your little finger.

MINE IS PARTIALLY INTERCHANGEABLE: I can change the two outer clip beads (these open and shut as stoppers.) I knew I'd keep the center bead as it has moonstone and never really showed up on my other bracelets, but it is central to the ring.

DESIGN POSSIBILITIES: Use clip beads with non-clip Troll-type as I did or use a central bead with beads that are simply large hole beads.

I bet we could get one of our glass people at http:www.addicted2beads.ning.com to make some small large hole beads to use on rings!

Chakra bracelets, necklaces, anklets

Karin — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:48:27 +0000

Chakra style jewelry is also in demand for the hoped for benefits wearing the stones can add to ones life.

Trollbeads makes chakra beads.

But I recently learned of another jeweler who makes an interesting one:

http://www.love-noel.com/detail.asp?producto_id=57

Do you wear chakra beads? Have you made a bracelet or necklace, etc. of chakra beads?

Either a completed bracelet or necklace or anklet -- or a bead (or several) to add to or begin a collection -- makes a nice gift!

Directions:Making a Troll Bead type bracelet from a leather lariat or cord

Karin — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 09:10:43 +0000

See more at http:www.addicted2beads.ning.com

I've updated this pattern with pictures.

Closed:

I enjoy beading so I thought I could figure out how to bead a bracelet from a leather lariat. I have one of the early Pandora leather lariats. Mine is quite short, maybe 18-20 inch. Now they make it 36 inches, which is what they should have done in the first place.

Anyway, consequently I didn't wear it much because I generally like my necklaces to fall longer. I have on occasion worn two lariats together to get the length.

I noticed in one of the Pandora brochures, they showed the lariat as a bracelet, doubled, but they only had one bead on it. Consequently they didn't need to worry about a number of beads sliding together.

I WANTED THE BEADS TO STAY IN PLACE, not float into each other.
FIRST ATTEMPT
In my first attempt, I knotted between stations and only went around once. This works good too.

SECOND ATTEMPT
I thought I'd see what I could come up with using some of the ideas I've seen elsewhere.

DIRECTIONS:
Take your leather cord and double it. (It can be just cord you buy, not a finished necklace as I had to work with.)

Knot the end where the silver ends are (or where your cord has the cut ends.)

Pass the doubled end through your beads.

THIS IS WHAT I FIGURED OUT BY DEFAULT.
You will be passing the doubled end through the beads a second time. Some of mine didn't have a big enough hole. When I figured that out, I staggered my beads so that the ones that wouldn't pass through twice were in stations by themselves, so that the cords passes through 3 or so a single time, then passes through 3 or so doubled, then 3 or so singled, etc.

THE BEADS STAY IN STATIONS
The result is that the beads stay in stations and do not fall into each other when you wear it.

THE CLASP:
After you have gone around the bracelet twice (with some only once) make a knot about 1/2 inch down from the doubled end. This becomes your clasp that you pass over the knot at the other end (which is now at the same place on your bracelet.)

To take it off, take the loop off the knot, and loosen the bracelet enough to get it off your wrist.

Open

To put it on, put the bracelet on your wrist, tighten it, pass the loop over the knot, spread out the stations and they stay all day.

ALTERNATIVE CLASP:
Attach the two ends with a Troll Clasp or other similar clasp -- or one you make yourself, which I have also done.

Here's what it looks like on:

Let me know if you try it.

Enjoy!

No FOTD today, but a lotta other stuff…

Karin — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 06:56:48 +0000

Today was a lovely, lazy, very busy -- oxymoron, I know -- happy, productive, fun day. I did nothing -- and everything.

Meanwhile some tropical storm or other is likely sitting off the coast because after having no rain for longer than we'd care to remember, we are getting inundated with it. No thunder; no lightening; just lots of glorious, wet weather. Good weather for ducks.

I like rain -- any rain. I like the sound of it. I like the overcast nature of it -- which can be overcast in one place and across the street the sun can be shining. Unlike Michigan where it would be overcast all over for days.

I like it that it breaks the heat and humidity.

The temps dropped from in the high 80s, low 90s, to the high 60s. Glorious weather.

I like the smell of rain. I look for the perfect scent of rain in a fragrance, and I've tried out several. Some I just like to have around to smell when I want that ozone/dirt perfect fragrance. The latest I've tried is Thundra -- a truly lovely, interesting fragrance. I might review it tomorrow.

And I stayed in all day except for all the schlepping of the kids. The 11 yr old had a field trip today in pouring rain. I sent her off with a sweatshirt and an umbrella. She came back wet.

Night products
Admission: generally I don't take my makeup off at night. Bad Karin. But I don't perspire, so my face is still clean. Last night was no exception, but I wanted to use the Arbonne night cream. So after I cleansed my face today -- with the Arbonne samples -- I put on night cream and enjoyed the day. I actually think I could apply my makeup over the top of it, but I never got to it.

When I was in my 20s, night creams were too rich and would break me out. And moisturizer alone, without something to seal it in, wasn't moist enough. I'd wake up drier than I'd like. So, for me, my regimen has been pretty much no night products, unless I wore them in the daytime, or unless I was jump starting my face.

I don't recommend this if you have oily skin or if it doesn't work for you. But whatever works, works!

So what did I do?
You got me, but the day flew!

No, seriously, I did a lot of beading to catch up with projects I had.

Oh! and I started a ning group for serious bead addicts of Trollbeads, Pandora, Chamilia, Biagi, artisan or other beads http:www.addicted2beads.ning.com It will be a place for resources of all kinds, including shops or artists that might want to tell about themselves.

I helped my 13 yo learn to iron so her skirt would look better for school. Schlepped the kids, including waiting at the bus stop until she was picked up -- and again until she was dropped off -- as it was raining too hard to let her stand out there in the elements.

Leave me a message so I know you are out there.

I'm going to enjoy the sound of the pouring rain. How about you? Do you like rain? Is it raining where you are? Do you need rain? We were parched here.

Review Flipping Brilliant A Penguin’s Guide to a Happy Life

Karin — Tue, 10 May 2011 04:34:33 +0000

Flipping Brilliant is a short little inspirational book based on penguin life, but it is filled with wonderful, wonderful pictures of penguins.

It is also available as a Kindle book for $6.39. But I'm not sure you'd want it as an ebook yet, because you would lose the color photos. I don't think black and white would be quite as good, despite the majority of penguin color being black and white.

I had no idea there are 17 different kinds of penguins!

Ever wonder why the Emperor Penguins march so far from the sea before making their nests? This book has the answer -- because when the ice begins to melt, if they are too close to the sea, the entire colony would be lost.

I rate this book 5 star for the photos, and the inspirations drawn from them are better than I expected.

Have you read it?

Trollbead/Pandora/Chamilia/etc. penguins
BTW, for those of you who collect trollbead bracelets or Pandora, there are plenty of different styles of penguins to choose for your bracelet. Barbara Maria has one (she designed TB geese) that is really cute.

Another management book: Our Iceberg Is Melting by John Kotter

If I had time right now, I'd read this book among the first of the books I have to read. But it will be on a later agenda, even though it is an approximately 45 min read. It looked very interesting at the book store. Additionally, you can find it at $9.99 for your Kindle. This fable is about a penguin colony faced with a potentially fatal problem. Along the way, the author teaches 8 insights into how to understand and manage change.

Have you ever thought that change either comes too quickly -- or not soon enough.
Managing change, the unexpected kind, might be a good thing!

European beads: Troll Pandora Chamilia and more Beads Beads Beads Beads

Do you have a serious love for these beads?

It can be addictive and expensive, especially if you collect any of the gold ones.

Sometimes it's good to be a beader to come up with some alternatives. I can do this. It's great if you are a glass artist and can make some of your own lampwork beads. Alas, I am not. But I do appreciate a beautiful bead.

Good news!
There is a group on ning that I started awhile ago, as a resource for all of us.
It is not affiliated with any one brand or any store. I'm reluctant to talk about other brands in forums associated with only one brand. Here, you can talk about them all.

Go to http://addicted2beads.ning.com/, look around, and join us. I hope to see you there! It's a good place to start if you are just beginning to collect these beads.

Do you have a favorite local shop or do you buy online -- or both.

Do you have bracelet(s) only? or necklace (s)?
For necklaces: I particularly love the Troll Fantasy Necklace.

Do you tend to put them together and then leave them? or do change them?
I know folks who put theirs together every morning for their outfit and have loads of beads in a tray that they pick and choose from. I can't imagine doing that! I tend to put mine together, then leave them. I re-do them occasionally, but it is hard for me to come up with something I really love, so once I do, I tend to leave it.

If you are a store owner, you are welcome to list your store in our files. Tell us what is special about it -- and if you do online business.

If you are a customer who particularly loves your store, be sure to tell us.

If you are a lampwork artist or a silver bead artist, tell us about your products!

Let us know any good ideas or design ideas that you have. You can post pictures in the photo section.

Come see us at http://addicted2beads.ning.com/.

Here's another artisan whose beads I love: redbalifrog.

10 reasons — or 100 — for loving Troll beads

Karin — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:32:20 +0000

10 reasons -- or 100 -- for loving Trollbeads (Pandora/Chamilia/redbalifrog /etc.)

10. They make you happy.
9. They are easy to transport 'cause they're small. That is, until you collect several drawers full as some aficionados have at their finger tips.
8. It's nice to be able to commemorate a happy time.
7. Once you get into collecting them, you can do themes in your designs.
6. There's no end to available beads. Isn't that great!
5. They aren't just for bracelets and necklaces. If you're creative, you can come up with lot of ways to wear them.
4. They are lovely to give or receive as gifts. Duplicates welcome of many of them!
3. They add color and fun to your life.
2. The hunt takes on a life of its own.
1. You meet some of the nicest people, online and in RL.

What can you add?
I know you love your beads too! I suspect there are as many reasons for loving Troll beads as there are beads to love. I love this bead...and this bead...and this one...and that one...and the one on your bracelet...and where did you get that one? and those OOAK (now called Uniques) are pretty terrific too.

Twilight Related Jewelry

Karin — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:35:30 +0000

This gives you an idea of possibilities. Here I am wearing the bracelet we designed for me yesterday with a floral art pendant from Inky Productions, Lily, but I am wearing it as a necklace today. I have increased the length by tying fishing line to the back. We used Trollbeads Lion, Lamb, and other beads, silver and glass, to represent the story.

If you are a fan of Twilight, the movies or the books, you probably know the stories by heart. You know that Bella's skin smells like strawberries, and Edward sparkles in sunlight. You know what flowers she carries in her wedding bouquet. And she carried freesias to the prom.

“Alice, Rosalie…thank you,” he breathed without looking away from me. I heard Alice chuckle in pleasure.

He stepped forward, cupping one cold hand under my jaw, and stooping to press his lips to my throat.

“It is you,” he murmured against my skin. He pulled away, and there were white flowers in his other hand.

“Freesia,” he informed me as he pinned them into my curls. “Completely redundant, as far as fragrance is concerned, of course.” He leaned back, looking me over again. He smiled his heart-stopping smile. “You are absurdly beautiful.” © 2007 Stephenie Meyer

Ah, yes, romance at its best and most unrequited. And eternal, let's not forget eternal.

Wouldn't everyone want an eternal romance, one that stays fresh and true, not one that goes through the nitty-gritty of the mundane day-to-day grind or dies a slow death through other unrelated issues? Is that why it is called fiction?

Nevertheless, we bring romance into our lives by allowing ourselves to enter fantasies where we can bring some of the inspiration to our own lives.

You can see a variety of Victorian Floral Art pendants by Inky Productions, each a work of art, not a copy, at Addicted2Beads. Additionally there are other resources listed at the site where you can choose beads to make a Twilight related bracelet or necklace.

Do you love the Twilight series? Are you counting down the days until the next movie comes out on June 30th?
