I did love the ladybugs from the start though, and knew what I wanted so that made it a lot easier when I saw my first one in Trollbeads Studio, that was a "sure bet" buy. <br /><br />The Critter Crawl was half impulse, half "half formed" ideas on a garden bracelet and I'd randomly been thinking about yellow beads on and off for a while ever since I'd tried to create a troll snake that didn't work out for me (when you wind your glass beads around in a spiral placing same colour beads next to each other to create either a light to dark effect or a rainbow - which was when I realised I had no yellow beads... told you it was random!)<br /> <br />I loved Trish's troll baby garden bracelet so much that it gave me the start of an idea for my ladybug, wherever and whenever the ideas came from and formed, I'm glad they did - I love this bracelet!<br /><br />It has been quite an unusual bracelet for me to make as I don't normally have such a strong idea of what I want to create. Other notable exceptions have been my Winter Beach bracelets using the Rocky Beach Kit, first on leather and then with the Redbalifrog silvers on a silver bracelet. <br /><br />The other unusual aspect of this is I don't normally worry about beads matching, but for some reason I really wanted those 4 yellow bases to be the same colour. I think it's because I wanted to tie in quite a few colours so felt there had to be some common theme amongst some of the critters<br /><br />I've enjoyed writing today. I've been so busy lately that it's been tricky to find enough time to sit down to pen something but I decided that today I would definitely make the time to write something! I've also had a photography session with the Summer Stones over the weekend so I will be finally getting around to doing a piece on those too. First I might just catch up on that book I started ;)<br /><br />Mars xx<br />Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215135884256731783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-1087431879348216692013-07-14T20:03:27.013+01:002013-07-14T20:03:27.013+01:00I have to laugh at myself for ending with up with ...I have to laugh at myself for ending with up with 4 critters on yellow cores in one sitting, although if I say so myself I'm rather pleased that I did! <br /><br />Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215135884256731783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-59882538127537818642013-07-14T17:33:28.988+01:002013-07-14T17:33:28.988+01:00I LOVE this ..........need some critters myself xx...I LOVE this ..........need some critters myself xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395089554909256852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-91587188525023185572013-07-14T16:42:18.881+01:002013-07-14T16:42:18.881+01:00What an amazing design, lovely story to explain it...What an amazing design, lovely story to explain it and I can see the pleasure and fascination in these critters. You have almost persuaded me, but like you I would be concerned about colours, and can I really dabble anymore? Glad you are back to your scribing. xKaynoreply@blogger.com
