    This does have some rich colors in it. I, like you, LOVE teal. Sometimes these interesting pieces are hard to match. I think you are suffering from that fretful affliction, “too many choices” :) I think I’d stick to one or two other colors, along with a metal for Gustav. Olive and plum, or olive and teal, something like that. Those muli-colored pearls, on the other hand, look especially made for Gustav’s piece.

    You could break this into several items!

    Judi – I will indeed use only a few colours with Gustav in order to showcase the beauty and intricacies of the bead. Certainly teal and perhaps olive, although the “olive” in the photo is actually an old gold colour and shiny. Merlot and teal would be smashing, with some metal accents. Wish me luck.

    The variety of color gives one so many ideas as to what to use with Gustav’s Kiss; personally I agree with Judi, the olive & plum meets my eye!
    Very nice, Marilee!
