Here's one...

If you check her other auctions you can see the rest of them, but I think this collection speaks for itself.

I really hope that isn't what happened. :s

I agree
Oh well.. hopefully if that is what happened.. someone will buy them and resurrect them.

I really think about the energy in certain objects. Like a piece of kandi holds both the memory of the event where I received it, as well as (hopefully) the love of the person who made it.

Maybe I'm attaching too much meaning to it...

Mrs Skittles

Not at all. Even if a piece of kandi is crappy and ugly. I won't take it apart, b/c soemone put a little piece of themself into that bracelet.

The only one I've taken apart (that hasn't broken accidentally!) is one I made myself that got really stretched, and also lost it's meaning to me, because i had made it symbolizing a friendship that no longer exists.

I wouldn't dream of taking apart one that someone had given me.

I even have a little tiny one that my friend's son gave me at a music festival. It's so tiny that only my old Elmo doll can wear it

I've never thought of looking for beads on eBay. Do you guys find anything good?? haha I'll have to look into this!! I've been collecting cute little hair ties that have charms on them.. I've been cutting them up to use as beads so I have something different to use ^_^

you can find lots of sanrio stuff on e bay, i have a hard time finding DARK purple beads here in town and i can find them on ebay

Mrs Skittles

I buy a lot of my different beads fromClick me

Check is out. Their prices are awesome, especially on pony beads.

CareSieB

i get stuff there too! i always get 15% coupons and free shipping in my e mail, if i get a code i will post it here...

alania.x

I didn't really find anything good this time..
Except the UV reactive ones that are white, but turn assorted colours under UV light..

Only thing I got was a bag of 1000 neon pony beads, because even at Walmart they are too expensive here for my liking (at least with the amount I want to make this time!)

kandeegirl2

The worst is when one just breaks and all the beads go flying everywhere its uber sad I hate that more than anything. I can't even try to scramble around the dark party floors when it happens at events.....not even a fun scenario......

that makes me sad. but that's also the reason i use the thick elastic so that it makes it less likely to happen.

Yeah... I use really good elastic too, so that doesn't happen.

I remember one of my favorites breaking at the Armin show I went to and I was up by the stage.. there was no way I could scramble with all the feet that would have trampled me :/

CareSieB

it happens from time to time no matter what, i try to use beading cord, i like the stuff that stays streatchy

alania.x

I get this beading stuff at Walmart that kinda looks like spaghetti and comes in different widths and comes in assorted colors and clear. I don't know what it's called but it's really strong and stretchy.

CareSieB

booo that stuff sucks...you need to get beading cord, you can get it at walmart over by the sewing stuff, by the sewing elastic, its actually called beading cord on the package

alania.x

This is the stuff I mean..



If that's not the kind you meant.. I'll try to find the other stuff. I've never had any problem with this stuff though.

CareSieB

yea, i used to use that stuff, the knots break ALL the time, unless you melt the knot a little with a lighter or something

Stunt_Girl

I swear by that stretchy beading cord at Walmart. I buy like 10 packages at a time ^_^

alania.x

Hmm.. okay.
I'll take a look then.

The really thin one of that kind makes me mad..

Worst bracelets I've seen were made of rexlace.. or cut up rubber bands.

CareSieB

you can get it cheaper at joann by the beads, its in a different package by "craft designer" but you get a ton more for cheaper...

kandeegirl2

almost every piece that ever happened to was one someone gave to me so it was more heartbreaking than if it was a piece i made. that only ever happened once. and it was with the shitty rubber stretch magik crap. i am an elastic cord girl for life
its like 69 cents a pack at walmart and depending on how huge of a piece you're making (the biggest i go is four rows) so i can get a decent amount of one package. anyhow yah

alania.x

Thanks guys.
I've never really noticed a problem, either with wearing or with ones I've made, but maybe I'll make the switch.
