Southern Chick says:Pretty cool pick, Elaine! Love it! I especially like the brass filigrees..Aren’t they all fun to stick in the picks to dress them up a bit?
On Jun 18, 2009 at 11:54 pm #
Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Thanks Southern Chick! I’m surprised how well the Cuprite goes with the African Turquoise…but I have notice that Brass and filigrees seem to go with anything!!
On Jun 18, 2009 at 11:57 pm #
Southern Chick says:So true…Have you noticed that we seem to be getting a lot of professional jewelry designers on this site lately? Holy cow. I’ll be afraid to post my pics!

Shannon aka Silly Chick says:What’s not to love? This would make a stunner of a necklace! With or w/o the filigree or maybe using the filigree piece as a front-placed clasp with an ‘s’ hook?
On Jun 19, 2009 at 12:02 am #
Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Yes, I have noticed…some of those design are amazing, mine would never stack up against those!

Southern Chick says:Has anyone noticed that its after midnight and the POD isn’t up yet?
On Jun 19, 2009 at 12:06 am #
Shannon aka Silly Chick says:I hear ya Southern Chick! But don’t you dare be afraid to show your work – most of us aren’t pros, just learning and having fun and, if we’re lucky, selling when we get the chance…If your pieces are anything like your picks, I’ll bet they’re beautiful!!!

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Southern Chick, I was looking for the Pick of the Day myself; maybe another glitch since they added the Gallery.

Bella Chick aka Chill says:Southern Chick, your Fresh Picks are always beautiful! Don’t fear posting your work! We create jewelry because we just love it…it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks as long as it makes you happy! I’ve just been beading 3 months and we are all are just bead lovers…we should, and will respect what each other creates!

Fashion Chick aka SC says:Belly Chick,
Your pick is stunning!! It’s in my favorites.

Southern Chick says:I’ve only been beading for about 6 weeks now. Thanks for all your encouragement chickies!

Southern Chick says:Well nightie, night! Talk to y’all later.

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Really, Southern Chick?! I would have thought you had been at it much longer than that!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 12:23 am #
Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Goodnight, Southern.

RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:NO WAY, Southern Chick!!Isn’t it great fun?

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Thank you, Fashion Chick!!

ChickyD aka Debra says:This is a fabulous pick, Elaine! You’ve use a favorite color combination of mine! Love it!
I’ve only been beading for a year now. It IS intimidating seeing all the beautiful work but also very inspirational. I know just how you feel, Donna.
Talk to y’all tomorrow. It’s been a busy week…

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Ladies, I’m with you about the Gallery! It’s a little intimidating, but also nice to see what everyone is doing, and to get to know their “style”. Anyway, everything I’ve seen posted here before the Gallery has been beautiful! Scary as it might be, I think i’ll put a few pieces in there. Yikes, I said it…
On Jun 19, 2009 at 2:47 am #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Did it again – off track & forgot to say how much I LOVE this pick!!! I don’t have the Cuprite, but wish I did every time I see it in a pick! Just the right color of light blue green!

RubberT aka Plucky Chick says:I have pieces to finish, so I am going to use the Gallery as motivation! It cracked me up this afternoon when the Gallery came up, everyone deserted Fresh Picks for a while. Chickies scattered. It was really hard to keep up with the convo!!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 8:24 am #
Leslie W Mtn Chick says:My favorite color combo too. Thanks for the great idea! I’ve been really impressed with the Gallery contributions and can’t wait to see more. It’s amazing how different our designs are. Maybe we could have a “Lima Bead Challenge” with a kit to inspire us, and then compare what we all make – not my original idea, like they do in the magazines!
On Jun 19, 2009 at 10:20 am #
Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Thanks again Chickies!! Yep, Plucky Chick, the chicks sure did scatter quick, didn’t they!! LOL
Dizzy Chick ~ I’m sure anything you post in the Gallery would be just fine; just remember, there are ladies here that have been beading for a way shorter time than you (me, for example)!!
Mtn Chick, I love your idea about a LB challenge; that would be a lot of fun and very interesting!!

Bella Chick aka Chill says:Elaine…It is an all-time FAV! Just gorgeous…I am inspired!
