Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:So lovely! I like the mossy greens & the brass together!
On May 04, 2009 at 1:53 am #
Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Doesn’t the brass go good with green?! Brass is quickly becoming my favorite metal!
On May 04, 2009 at 1:58 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I love brass — I use it a lot!

J Yee smart chick says:ooohh, what a fun mysterious title and dramatic greens and browns, I too love brass, use it more and more thanks to ones like vintaj…

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:I’ve started ordering a bit of it…it’s such a change for me because I have been a huge silver/pewter/white gold nut all my life. But it seems that now that I’m older, my coloring has changed or something because I can wear colors now that I never was able to before.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I love the Vintaj brass! I use a lot of copper, too.
On May 04, 2009 at 2:10 am #
Elaine aka Belly Chick says:I haven’t done anything with copper yet but I’m sure I will. I can’t believe how quickly I’ve gotten hooked on this hobby!!
On May 04, 2009 at 2:12 am #
J Yee smart chick says:I know what you mean, I’m considering some colors I hadn’t before… expanding my “color repertoire”, I now love copper and brass as accent beads… I just saw some vintaj brass beads in a local bead shop yesterday while shopping for a bracelet project, fun to see them in person!
I used to focus my attention on the quadrant of the color wheel that includes purple over to green… lately I’ve really been appreciating the warm pinks of rhodocrosite, rhodonite w/ pyrite, that sweet pink botswana agate… as well as many others including earthy ocean jasper… agates such as blue lace and crazy lace… too many to name all my favs!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I know what you mean, Joyce. Everytime I think I’ve settled on a favorite color, here comes another one I fall in love with! LOL

movie chick aka susan says:very nice…would like to get lost in this ‘labyrinth’!

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:So pretty, and you are right about the brass w/the greens. Nice!
As for our coloring changing, mine sure has. I used to be a dark brunette w/ natural red highlights…now mostly silver w/just enuf brown strands that I am blonde in some lights, and silver under strong direct light. At least the blue eyes stay the same!
I think we all need to be aware that our coloring does change, and new choices can be better than our previous “old standbys”.
For instance,like Smart Chick, the great LB pinks are appealing to me now.

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Thanks, ladies! OMG! I got my first order today with some of the Vintaj brass pendants and I am so impressed! They are soooo much nicer in person than just looking at the pictures! And the Labradorite….well, I just can’t say enough about it! The Howlite turquoise is so vibrant, the Garnet, the Larimar Blue Crazy Lace, the stampt pewter…..beautiful!

Smoky Rose says:let’s hear it for Elaine’s First Order!!! yay!!!!!!! Don’t they have nice stuff? Yeah, you’re hooked!
On May 04, 2009 at 4:37 pm #
Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Yes, Smoky Chick, their stuff is way too nice! If I keep adding to my wish list at this rate; I will be so broke, I won’t even be able to pay attention! Hehehe!
