OK Jacki says:Love it. Those who live yellow & gold love this color combo. Go for it!! Very nice.

puppychick labratbecky says:Love this!! I almost bought some but it appears to slide into chartreuse which makes these crystals so appropriate but leaves my realm of what a sunflower should be.
Does that make any sense??? Anyway, you have done a wonderful job choosing components and conveying the mood!!

Julie Shane says:BI, I instantly liked this combo! The crystals mirror the colors in the Sunflower agate and so do the Czech rectangles. The charcoal pearls and the ArteMetal … It’s all perfect.
I am really anxious to see what you create from this.

Julie Shane says:Also: I remember you did a HoneyBee bracelet and posted it in Design Gallery. It was fab! This could be the more mellow side of the yellows.

Blooming Ideas says:Thanks Ladies for all of your kind and encouraging words!
Hmm I have some of the lampwork beads left over from the Honey bee bracelet…they would go with this pick. Hadn’t thought of that. Thanks Julie for making that connection.
Laud…that sounds like it is going to gorgeous. Please share….
