J Yee smart chick says:Julia, what a fantastic and dramatic Pick with those new red/gold wooden beads, plus other black and reddish beads, the copper charms you have in this one sure make the red and black “pop”!

Carole S says:Julia, this is absolutely gorgeous. Love all your picks and what you’ve posted on the Design Gallery. I have a question about one of your Design Gallery items “Summer Carnival”. What are the 6 yellow beads you used. I’ve been looking for yellow beads on a design I’ve been working on for weeks and can’t find anything that nice of a yellow. In your description you mention hessionite but LB’s sure don’t look that nice. Help!

Kitty Chicky Cat says:Oooo! Cool! I like the combination of the painted firey wood with the aged copper fame with the rusty red stones set off perfectly with the deep glossy black like wet ink of fresh brush strokes!

AllureofGemsGlamJulia says:Thank you, chickies
Carole, the yellow beads are amber and good one too
I had this beads in the amber necklace for about 35 years: I dismantle it and used the amber in two sets

Carole S says:Thanks for your help Julia on the amber beads. I ordered some yellow opal nuggets from LB and think they will work with what I wanted to do, just not as bright, more muted, than the yellow amber you used.
And I have to say that all your designs are beautiful. Also I get a lot of inspiration from your fresh picks about putting colors together. Thanks again.
