nancykathryn says:This lovely, those stones are gorgeous. You’re colours make me think of warmth for some reason, which is good, since it is veryyy cold here in Canada today!

Science Chick Runs Sibes says:Love the colors…it truly looks like it should sell like hotcakes! It has a nice sinuous flow from the large agates through the graduations of the round beads.

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Lovely work! The wire work on the pendant just really tops off a great design. I like the play of light and dark in your pinks/purples. Very appealing.
