About this design:
When these Lima CZ drops arrived in the mail, I was bowled over. (Got 'em through the Bead Machine, I think, and I should have bought a dozen!) I saved them for a long time until I found something else to complement but not overwhelm them.
Components:
Glass square (dichoroic?) and Lima Beads cubic zironconia dropsRead the comments (or add your own)
