A Christmassy Trollbeads Bracelet

 From left (lock) clockwise. All Trollbeads unless otherwise noted: flower lock (that you can't really see, it's on the wrong side), silver stopper, lucky knot, green stripe, bee on hive, kimono ume (limited edition, still available online though), viking, golden cave, red stripe, forget me not, Eagle Bay Designs ancient river, turtle, Eagle Bay Designs golden seas, green feather, brew of the moor, Mees & Merel red armadillo, mermaid, turquoise prism, silver stopper.

Here's a close up of the two Eagle Bay Designs beads. These are made individually by glass artist Doug Clark, and they are absolutely beautiful beads. I'd buy more if I wasn't so wary of customs charges (I took the risk recently with Ancient River as it is just so lovely, and was lucky for once). The other thing I like about Eagle Bay Designs is that the beads come in two different core sizes - one that fits most European Charm Bracelets, and one that specifically fits Trollbeads. I like being able to buy the smaller core size that matches my Trollbeads exactly.

Eagle Bay Designs beads are available from www.eaglebaydesigns.com, and Mees & Merel from Etsy www.etsy.com/shop/meesmerel.
