Judiahaha says: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.

Judiahaha says:You could break this into several items!

Chicky Red-haired Grammy says: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.

Karen aka kidsauthor says: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!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Merilee, congrats on this wonderful pick being chosen as one of LB’s fave picks for this week!
You’ve perfectly captured the colors in the Gustav bead! Love that painting, too!
Thanks for the explanation of the “olive” in the bead, too. Looking forward to seeing what you create with this — love your ideas!
