“Charred Sunflower”

Description from Blooming Ideas: The Mexican Sunflower Agate recently got my attention. Would I really make something with this? Hmm...I'll have to think about it some more?

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

    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!!

  4. Julie Shane
    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.

    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. :)

    This is a beautiful combination. Yellow is a favorite color. The sunflower agate and crystals are a perfect match. I am so in awe of your work.

    I bought some of those agates. I think they’re lovely. Plan to use them with black stone. I think this pick has all sorts of possibilities. Good one!

    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…. :)
