    Claire - my DD thinks that the bracelet is pretty (so do I) so I wouldn't take it apart. There are lots of bracelets similar to this where you can buy extras (can't think what they are called but a bit like a charm bracelet but with beads) so I think they would sell. Perhaps have a list of colours of beads so that the buyer could "pick & mix" their own?

    Hope that helps and you get what I am trying to say - brain is only popping in occasionally :D

    Can I have honest opinions please? using odd beads is right out of my comfort zone, but thought I would try, Not sure thinking of taking it apart.

    Hmm. I like the concept, but maybe play around with the mix of colours? The red bead absolutely leaps out at me as "not belonging", but the two on the right hand side go well together. How about playing about with one with a mix of turquoises, blues and greens, playing on the "sea" theme? In theory red and green ought to work well together as well, as with blues and yellows.

    I love the work with the roundels and tiny beads between the bigger ones - fantastic!

    Claire, I love the bracelet. Just showed it to DD, who's 15 and she loved it too, said she would definitely wear it :T
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Hi Claire - I love the bracelet too (although the red bead is a little sticking point for me too!)

    I think the 'pic n mix' idea is a good one. A photo or 2 to give customers the general gist of the finished product and then a list / photos of the colour choices, including the spacers?

    Well folks, just home from work with 10 football shirts & lots of people asking for more info. 1 guy has 2 sons who play in teams that are thinking of changing their team strips & would I want the old ones........ERRR YES :j:j
    Also introduced myself to Mr Big Boss guy who drives up from Leeds frequently & will bring stuff up to me on Nov 3rd (all being well) - & this should include the kit being moved up from Hove as well - I thanked him for his time & effort let him know how much I appreciate it. It 's always nice to be nice....

    I can't believe the response I've had & the people I have contacted & who have contacted me offering to help (who, incidentally, will be noted for my 250 as they now know who I am :D)

    So - do I just keep collecting kit for the timebeing until collection/delivery strategy is worked out?

    Thanks guys

    CM

    Any update from MG?

    Clooties Mum - and all you other collectors :A
    Please carry on collecting, MG's motivational speech and £10,000 are relying on you :D (no pressure then ;) )

    I'm just waiting on confirmation of the loan of an industrial unit for 6 weeks which will be our collection point :j:j:j

    Then we start on the logistics......:eek:
