Trollbead box and Bold Heart Necklace

I am a collector of Trollbeads and over time my collection has grown. I have treated myself to this handmade box made of Maple to keep them in. The first level has rods to keep the beads on, the next two levels have 24 sections each to keep beads and the bottom level has sections to keep completed bracelets and necklaces. I have bought it direct from the man who makes them in America, so now have to wait for it to arrive in the post......I really can't wait to sort out my collection!



This is the Bold Heart necklace that I made yesterday, more chunky than my normal jewellery but I really like the bold design. I have listed it in my shops http://www.folksy.com/items/57420-Bold-Heart?shop=yes







More supplies arrived in the post this morning so hopefully I will get some time to craft later, a big pile of ironing has my name on it first!!

Trollbeads increase in price!

I am a collector of Trollbeads, here is a picture using some of my green and purple beads.....I did say I like the colour Purple!! It is a great shock that the cost of the beads are going up yet again tomorrow by a whopping 15%. That means they have increased by about 39% in 18 months! At the moment when money is so much tighter for everyone, increasing prices by this amount will certainly stop people from buying them so much.......their sales figures are certainly going to drop.

If you have not heard of Trollbeads and would like to find out more, take a look at http://www.fabletrading.co.uk/ to see what I am talking about!
