Having read Mars guest blog from Pauline I knew I really
had to join the Trollbead forum so I joined Trollbeads Gallery Forum, and now
Nic thinks I’m really obsessed. There are some really lovely people (mainly
Ladies) on there, from all over the world. They have some really amazing
collections, I thought I had a lot of beads, but it is nothing compared to some
of these awesome collections. It’s worth joining just to ogle the pictures and
steal their ideas for yourself!
Anyhoo, whilst on there I noticed a Group all about
swapping beads, I have a Kimono Kit from which I only want 2 beads so I thought
this was a great place to get some beads that I did want. I posted an entry to
say that I had some beads I wanted to swap and a lovely lady called Julie said
she would swap with me. After a few negations (mainly because I didn’t know
what I wanted) we decided 2 of my beads for a Snowflake Obsidian and the retired
silver Sandi. I was a bit worried that I would post my beads and never receive any
in exchange, it goes a bit against human nature to trust a complete stranger,
but I need not have worried as the next day my beads arrived with a lovely
little card. I love my beads, the Sandi bead is a better match to Feather as it
sits closer to the bracelet and is about the same width, than Love Within. The
snowflake Obsidian is amazing with not just black and grey but also hints of
brown in it. It goes really well with my Jasper beads too.
The next day I got a message from Amanda (with the silver
Smiley bead) saying she would like to swap one with me and I got this amazing Harlequin
bead. It’s greeny/blue and see through yellow (which is a colour I am starting
to collect a few more of)
They are on my bracelet combo with a few of my eBay
purchases too:
I have a Mermaid, Fairy and a Kimono bead to swap, or
sell, if anyone is interested!x
