Nancy Mc says:Agree with Elis Mom. I don’t see it as chaotic. It’s a beautiful mix of colors. I love the way you snuck a few faceted Pyrite in there,with all the smooth stones.The blue Agate are drool worthy.

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:I’ve heard it said that a wildflower garden is actually organized chaos. Being gardener myself, I’ve always loved that description.
So if this is chaotic, it is in a very, very good way! Love it!

Kate says:Those faceted pyrites definitely give a great texture burst to this piece. Love that chaos!
