Laud says:Thanks! I was surprised by the copper/peach tones in the charoite. Rather than see that as a flaw, I thought to highlight it.

Chicky Zee aka Alice says:Pretty!

Julie Shane says:I hadn’t really noticed the peach tones in the charoite or lapidalite, but this really makes them pop. I can’t wait to see what you do with these colors!!!
On Jan 16, 2013 at 6:32 pm #
Laud says:I don’t have the charoite or the wild orchid pearls. Been eyeing those for some time. The lilac with gold crystals are really sensational, though. Hmm…

On Jan 17, 2013 at 11:43 am #
Laud says:I love orchids, too, but haven’t learned the secrets of getting them to bloom after the first set of flowers fades. (I’ll bet they’re not entirely happy with the Midwest.)
