Description from Smoky Rose: This isn't the Orange pick that I was thinking of - that'll come later and I know the Chicks will recognize it when they see it - but here's another with items that I just don't care for (with all due respect to those of you who do!) I don't own any Red & Grey Botswana - but if you were to give me a strand, I could see myself dissecting it and pulling out the few beads that I did like (most likely the grey ones) - but here, using the whole stand and trying to compliment... Also, just not a yellow metal gal - pretty pendant, just not a yellow metal gal...

Cathy H Chocolate Chick says:I think that these look very good together, but I like these tones. BTW, the challenge that was referred to came from Anita quite a while ago to describe yourself in beads. Anita’s original was (I think) “That’s me…..” I think it is on page 31 of her picks. Several people have done it and it’s lots of fun to see them. I started one, but never finished. Guess I will have to go back and try again.
