Laud says:Will do, Jacki. I’m still struggling with the design, trying to balance the paper beads (perfect match for the aqua rosemary) with the Gaea leaves. At first, I thought I needed three Gaea leaves, but then the rhythmn would be so predictable (BIG.sm.BIG.sm.BIG), that I didn’t want to go that way. Wish I could have put the butter cream rondelles (out of stock just now) and the green flourite drops (gorgeous, but not in the picture) into this pick. They’re really pretty with the other elements.

Julie Shane says:Serene indeed Laud. I bought a bunch of the sky blue African paper beads and assumed they’d go with blue. I ended up using them with a couple shades of yellow. It’s one of my favorite sets.
Please let us see what you create.
