CAS says:Hi ya Funny Chick, you groovy thing you! Splendiferous pick, I just want it all (greedy little me) cause it’s so very, very delish-looking. Maybe we can hint-hint to “LB” to make it a daily pick, so we can buy all of the goodies, what’d ya think?

J Yee smart chick says:ooooohhhh, where do I begin??? …
funny chick, love this latest Pick combo, so relaxed and earthy feel to it… w/ all the lovely rugged turritella, vs. that sweet fiery mexican fire opal, soft new jade…. white opal…
CAS – wow, agree w/ funny chick – you’re an amazing artist, each piece you showed has such striking and lovely color combos – that donut w/ the pink beads, totally unexpected ; love the sodalite blue necklace, the aqua blue necklace and the last blue/green one … whew… so inspiring….
… the project shows it w/ pink and green pastel swarovski pearl beads… way too easy a combo for me…
… trying to find some er hum… inexpensive beads to experiment with… will be working on this the next few weeks as a way to help me continue pushing my “color envelope”
…
and little chicky, look forward to your pics also…
I’m beginning to work on a small bracelet project that I’ve had sitting around for some time, it’s a soft flex project using double needle right angle, I’m gonna need some encouragement to use some colors I don’t normally

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:OH My Gosh CAS!! Your jewelry is beautiful and your photography is so professional. How, how, how do you take such perfect pictures? What kind of lighting? Flash? Natural? ETC… How do you keep the shadows out and get the colors to look so realistic?
I’ve played and played with our camera and am just so disgusted and ready to give up. It CAN’T be that hard to take good pics but it’s just not working for me. Help!!!
