Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Lynn, you are a smart Chicky! You got it exactly right! LOL!

Leigh D says:This is my kind of a-baloney – LOL. But seriously I had not idea how pretty smoky quartz would be with the abalone. I will have to test this one out – thanks for the inspiration.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I’ve never tried them together either, Leigh, but this pick of Sue’s has got my brain thinking in new directions.
It really looks beautiful!

K H says:Oooooh, I like this – the colors look so nice together – and an abalone and smoky quartz necklace would go with so many things.

Deb D Grammy Chick says:“I love to eat it every day, and if you ask me why I’ll say…”
I love this pick! The blend of colors is wonderful. Like Leigh and Lynn,I’ve never thought of using the smoky quartz with the abalone, but it’s a beautiful combination!

FaeryGoth Chick says:This is a pretty pick Sue!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Well shucks, ladies, I was just hungry, that’s all! LOL!
ACC, you are correct – the adventurine and moonstone are lettuce!
I didn’t know how well the smoky quartz would go with abalone either, until I decided I needed dark bread!
I can’t wait to try this out!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Sue, look what fun you started! LOL

On Aug 25, 2009 at 5:16 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Well, Lynn, I’d have to go 40 miles for some a-baloney, so I guess I’d just better work on the bead combo!
Thanks, Mayan Chick! Glad to give you a chuckle for the day!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:OK, “lettuce” see what you come up with! LOL
