Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Nichole as usual you have a great design and selection of beads. I love the flower the softness of the stones. The translucentcy (I am sure that is not a word but you get the idea) of the tourmalated quartz witht the pearls is stunning The little pop of black stone brings out the tourmaltion of the quartz. It is just a stunning piece any way you look at it. Congratulations little girl on being #1 pick this one absoulutely is deserving. You did it again.

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks Faithful Chick!!!! This one sold at my last show. I was a little disappointed but then glad (for the money and that the customer loved it so much)! I’m planning on making one for myself soon!!!
