I love my charms, as most of you know. It may be that outside of actual shops that sell charms, I have the world's biggest collection of bronze charms. They are very popular in
my online shops. I'm thinking of putting a facility on my
website for Chritmas so that people can design their own charm bracelet by choosing combinations of charms - do you think that would work? It will take a lot of organising and I haven't started yet, although I have discovered a lovely little app (Framemagic) that lets me make collages like this really easily.
So browsing charms a couple of weeks ago I came across a lovely leopard head. Great, I thought, it will make a pretty bag charm with a glass animal print bead I've already got. So the charm came, I put the bead with it. This is the result:
Spotted the deliberate (not) mistake (excuse the pun)? Do leopards have stripes? No, they do not. Should I have thought of this before? Yes. Am I going to change it? No. It will have to be the big cats bag charm instead... Doh!
Here's a

I think being able to pick your own charms and design your own bracelet is a real winner. The leopard head looks fab and the bead really adds to it. Have a lovely week.

Looks like Framemagic was a great find - hope it helps with sales:)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are really good and I would never have thought of the spots/stripes thing if you hadn't mentioned it! Big Cat charm is good too though! x
ReplyDeleteHehe! I don't think it matters that leopards don't have stripes, the over all effect or the bead and charm together works really well :)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine it gets addictive choosing new charms, i bet there are some you don't want to part with! x
The close up of the leopard is very good, and I do like the look of the seaside charms too.
ReplyDeleteLovely charms, I think choosing your own charm is a great idea and I'm sure it'd be very popular too.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great, especaily the starfish. Although my favourite is the Leopard head - gorgeous. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteAll your designs are lovely but I think I like the leopard the best. Very beautiful designs.
ReplyDeleteInnovative Jewelry creation always get value. It doesn't matter that leopards don't have stripes, Fusion of imagination & charm gives best result.
