J Yee smart chick says:Okay Leigh D, what a wonderful creative Pick title and combo, the copper sure accentuates the turquoise colors perfectly, hope you’ll make something with this combo, OK???
– love seeing turquoise w/ copper instead of sterling silver, sure works w/ the african turquoise really well!!!

Leigh D says:I do too Deb – this is one of the reasons I was playing around with these beads – to see how they looked together and get feedback. Once I get some more bead sorting done I will definately be making something for sure

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:LOL I just got the “stern warning” that I am posting comments too quickly and to slow down. Makes me want to post them all the faster — must be the rebelious child in me!!!
Should be

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Great pick, Leigh! I’ve found that I really like copper with turquoise better than silver. I think it’s the warm tone against the cool blues – can’t wait to see what you come up with in a design! You go, girl!

Leigh D says:Thanks everyone – I have been sorting my bead stash and reorganizing while I have been on vacation this week – I am really surprised to find how many beads look excellent with copper! Oh the new color combos you discover when you have a pile of beads laying in front of you

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:It really does help sometimes to just spread a lot of them out and just see who “plays well” with others! Copper seems to go with sooooo many other things, doesn’t it? Brass does, too.
