Julie Shane says:OH MY!!!
I have been collecting yellows and almost yellows and soft browns and tans. I’m not sure what I want to do with them, but I know they are going to be bright and cheerful.
I *love* your bracelet because it is the fun and fanciful type of look that I’m imagining! I was going to do pewter… but the brass looks SO GOOD!!!

Chickie Nonnie T says:Thanks chickies! It’s not how I usually think of yellow, but there it was sitting in one of my bead boxes, next to the pyrite…
On Feb 08, 2013 at 2:13 am #
Nancy Mc says:Nonie T..I think it’s the Pyrite that gives it such a perfect contrast,and keeps it from being too yellow. It makes it interesting and very unique.
