Beaded browbands: A new twist...

Posted: 30 May 2010 01:37 PM PDT

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...
