Browbands. This one was custom-made (at a reasonable price) by HPF designs. These pictures don't do the browband justice -- the colors are rich amber/gold/orange. Click the image to expand it and get more detail.

I contacted the owner and told her which of her beadwork browbands I liked, but asked if it was available in chestnut-compatible colors. Well, she not only did a browband in custom colors, she used a new design. I just love it!

Remember All Our Fallen Heroes... Human and Canine

Posted: 30 May 2010 09:05 PM PDT

This image has been going around Facebook this past week, and I can't think of a better way to recognize Memorial Day on the Cute.Today, let's remember not just the people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, but the canine service members as well. I'm sure there is a VERY special place at the Rainbow Bridge for them.P.S. I don't know the origin of this image, so if anyone does,

BTB: Beaded browbands: A new twist...

Beaded browbands: A new twist...

One of my first really popular blog posts was Bring on the Bling (on the topic of browbands). My aesthetic and style have come so far since then (sheds wistful tear)! What jazzed me back then -- the typical single strand beaded dressage browband -- now they seem, well, so YESTERDAY. The discerning equine enthusiast -- the ones who can never own enough horse accoutrements -- are turning to the woven beaded browbands, which are growing in popularity. Have you seen them? This one is from the HPF Designs beadweaving page.

These are my people...
Riley and I have gone ethnic, opting for an earth-tone browband from the Kenyan Collection (see design choices). This is the browband that led to the unfortunate incident where I punched Riley's lights out. :-(

Also check out Mighty TB Clique browbands...

Looking for something different?
Okay, I still love regular browbands, but at this point I like to see something a little different -- -like this green hornet browband from Crown jewels browband (click image to enlarge)

Manely bling
Very unique! I like the shorter length of the "bling" (focused on the center) and the varied jewel sizes. I like Molly but don't have a brown bridle...

Flying change browbands
These are browbands with interchangeable beads.

Browbands with bling
Well, frankly a little heavy for my tastes -- definitely for upper level horses

Designer browbands This one is really different!

Browbands by design
Again, quite nice...
