Cathy H Chocolate Chick says:Great job, Cathy! The pale greens look SO good with the bronzite and copper. I love those new beads too! Right into my favorites.

Fashion Chick aka SC says:Your mixture of cool greens and brown is perfect!

kcdesigns AKA sporty says:thanks Steph anie and Chocolate Chick- I love that new soocho jade heishi bead- it has some pretty colors in it. I don’t usually get heishi beads and probably wont get these but I like it for this pick

Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Love this color combo, Cathy! You’re right, the soocho jade heishi beads have all 3 colors in it. This would make a really fabulous necklace, go for it!!

kcdesigns AKA sporty says:thanks crazy chick- see my next pick that I made for us as we sit by the your pick-hahaha

kcdesigns AKA sporty says:Jill- where have you been- I have missed chatting with you!!!

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Kathy – I see the soocho jade heishi with a single bronzite round or copper round as a center piece, maybe with the bronzite rondelles (or green flourite)as accents.
I love the brown with the soft greens!

kcdesigns AKA sporty says:this would definitely make a nice necklace- I don’t like all the soocho beads but I do like this one. I wonder if LV gets their beads from all different places because sometimes there is such a difference within the same bead- the other soocho beads dont have that green fluorite shade in them. Wouldnt you love the job of bead buyer for LB- dreaming
On Mar 27, 2009 at 5:20 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Talk about a dream job!!!
I spent 2 hours in the local bead store this afternoon. I’m sure I paid too much for my beads, but sometimes you just have to touch them!

Smoky Rose says:beautiful Cathy!
I love Bronzite! I think it’s so rich.
- sometimes you have to go to a bead store – and I’m sure LB understands that too…. have to touch – or, in my case sometimes: HAVE TO HAVE TODAY!

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:oh yeah! and I just went in for clip on earrings for a friend…

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:no fair – you have a life!
Have a good weekend!

Smoky Rose says:I do not!
– I’m looking at the typical chores + maybe getting car washed, hair NEEDS a cut badly, and of course
MAKING JEWELRY!

Classy Chick JbyJill says:Hey Sporty Chick!
I just saw your message asking where I have been. I am without my computer… Bad harddrive, bad motherboard, and bad LCD!! So every once in awhile I can jump on another computer.
I know I have already commented on this pick, but I just have to say again, “It is beautiful”. I love these new beads.
On Mar 28, 2009 at 2:28 pm #
kcdesigns AKA sporty says:Classy Chick- sorry to hear of your computer issues- I love them but hate them at the same time because when they are down its expensive and so much is reliant on the stupid thing-lol. anyway, looking forward to having you back when its fixed. Miss you
On Mar 28, 2009 at 2:30 pm #
kcdesigns AKA sporty says:Mary F- basically did the same things you listed today- my hair needs a cut but didn’t do it today. I took a break from making jewelry- having a block. Thought I would check in with the Chicks and then go for a run- its like 60 here today, then back to the beading room

J Yee smart chick says:KC,
sure wish we were having 60 degree weather up in the Pacific NW, but not right now – it’s gray and rainy cold, maybe around 50 but feels colder with the high humidity!
Love the mix of beads in this Pick, from the dreamy green fluorite to the more earthy new antique soochow jade. I also really like the batches with green and would love to be able to pick these too

kcdesigns AKA sporty says:rainy- yuck. We are sun, sun, sun. Are you in Washington? Oregon?
On Mar 28, 2009 at 2:46 pm #
J Yee smart chick says:I’m in Seattle Washington, beautiful area but definitely gets lotsa rain.
classy chick, sorry to hear about your computer problems, I had a few this quarter with my trusty laptop too, it refused to save any files onto my jump drive, the repair shop told me it had a virus… computers, cant’ live without ‘em, can’t live with ‘em some days…

kcdesigns AKA sporty says:My niece lives there- they just moved there- she is a nurse at one of the hospitals. That is why when we are headed to bead it is early evening and you are just getting going. The other night it was past 11:00 when we were chatting- I am usually sound asleep at that hour. I will have to remember our time difference next time-lol okay- off for my run
