franny says:this is a fantastic pick – looks simple but I know it isn’t – I’m trying, because I love the patterns on the African Trade Beads but it just ain’t working! – I like how you’ve mixed them with the new Czech & Humble nouveau patterns as well as the brass (phew)

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Thank you so much chickies! I appreciate all your wonderful comments!
@Lynn, *Hugs* to you too!
@Franny, thank you. I know what you mean! This pick didn’t turn out at all like I planned. I just couldn’t get the look I was going for. I imagined the red clay of Africa and beautiful multi-colored beads encircling a beautiful African women’s neck.
I think trying to actually put it together in a design will be a bit of a challenge. If I ever get them in my stash, I’m willing to give a try though!
