Huzzah :)
Thanks ...Yay it worked, you're here! Huzzah :)<br /><br />Thanks Amanda, I wanted this set to be a bit gritty so I know what you mean... I really love being able to play with glass, it's such a pleasure - at the moment it's all experimentation and exploring different styles.<br /><br />I remember when these came out and I checked with Victoria what size bracelet she had them on because I so wanted to be able to wear all 4! I can see me using them a lot indivdiually as well, but at the moment I can't bear to split the set.. it's not just that I'd need to make more glass :)<br /><br />Have you seen the news about the special releases for the about to be retired beads... I daren't look but I always seem to miss the boat so perhaps that's not a bad thing for my bead budget!<br /><br />I thought my Ohm Dinosaurs were as big as I would normally go... but I absolutely love these... once I get over splitting them as a set I think my FN necklace will get them one by one!<br /><br />Mars xx<br />Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211092166880573199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-5634345001207187162015-11-13T12:40:44.734+00:002015-11-13T12:40:44.734+00:00Hey it worked this time!!

I think what I was going to say a few days ago was that I love your glass which for some reason reminds me of the TB Old Earth, and also that I love the silvers, but might find them personally a bit big. My small cherry blossom is about as big as I like to go; I love tiny silvers.... but this is a stunning bracelet and is really beautiful.Amanda Machttp://www.wikibeadia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-20524980253340543312015-11-03T08:42:31.124+00:002015-11-03T08:42:31.124+00:00Thanks Tracy, I was really pleased with how the wh...Thanks Tracy, I was really pleased with how the whole bracelet turned out but I do love how the glass works with them too!<br /><br />I haven't worn them on their own yet, I love the bracelet too much! I think they would look fantastic on leather and as necklace too. i was much the same, definitely drawn to them but I really wanted a set - financially it was a big stretch but one of those decisions where I knew I would be gutted if I bought them one by one but didn't get them all before I could "realistically" afford them so I just closed my eyes and ordered. Bit like the Chinese Silvers, absolutley NO regrets. In fact I'd be tempted by another Aer or two... Two Aers on a necklace with 3 glass... hmmmm!<br /><br />Mars xxMarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211092166880573199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-51171764682023430172015-11-03T01:42:55.243+00:002015-11-03T01:42:55.243+00:00I like Alex's beads, but I love how yours comp...I like Alex's beads, but I love how yours compliment them!<br /><br />When Alex first released his Elements, I was drawn to them, but worried that they would be a bit big for my wrist Plus, I didn't think that I could chose just one, and getting all four wasn't an option, so I probably talked myself out of them a bit for that reason too :D But, I have my eye on his skull and Daruma beads. <br /><br />Have you ever worn any of the element beads on a necklace? I think that I could see wearing Aqua on a dark leather. I think if I had to choose just one, I'd choose Aqua. But once I got one, I'm sure that I would want the set!Tracyhttp://www.blackbootslonglegs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-48644567996746726092015-11-02T22:00:53.217+00:002015-11-02T22:00:53.217+00:00Yeah, the octopus was a great one!

I do have a nice octopus dangle I bought on Amazon I really like, I posted a pic of it on an ocean bracelet I made awhile ago for you to see on your Facebook.<br /><br />You are so talented making your glass, I love it!<br /><br />Haha, I'm always feeling/checking all my beads too!Natalienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-28276619176162085682015-11-02T21:19:08.446+00:002015-11-02T21:19:08.446+00:00I loved Octopus but missed out as by the time I ha...I loved Octopus but missed out as by the time I had the pennies it had sold out and I missed the last run of it before it was retired, but that's the way of it sometimes! I definitely hope to pick up more of Alex's work in the future, I love these beads, it's one of my favourite bracelets even if it is a tad tricky to put on. It's one that tends to get noticed if I'm wearing it!<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words about the glass, that one is my favourite out of this set! I wanted to make glass that had deep colours, but were also earthy and metallic looking, but for one to have a "pools" effect. I really enjoyed making these, and it was lovely to have finally made no.5 to finish the set!<br /><br />I keep wondering whether I should pick up another Aer whilst they are still available, that bead is my favourite one to touch! (But I've always felt all my beads naturally)<br /><br />Mars xxMarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211092166880573199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-9240062869040029712015-11-02T20:55:59.103+00:002015-11-02T20:55:59.103+00:00Lovely bracelet Mars!

I especially love the glass you made, it's gorgeous, especially the bead between aqua and aer :-D <br /><br />I don't have any of Alex's beads, but I do admire his work. I think my favorite I've seen is probably his octopus. I do like larger scale silvers but these might be a little big even for me, and I'm also less into the abstract designs.Natalienoreply@blogger.com
