movie chick aka susan says:look at what I just made:
On May 16, 2009 at 10:11 pm #
Southern Chick says:Aren’t you something? Do you know if this stone is sometimes called Zebra Stone? Lovely necklace et al! You’re something else. I just made a necklace using scarabs from the museum shop at the King Tut exibit in Philadelphia a couple of years ago. Nothing like the Washington DC exhibit in 76, which I heard about and missed because I didn’t want to get up at 4:30 am!
On May 16, 2009 at 10:14 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:Southern Chick – thank you…any chance you can get a picture of that necklace so I can see…I love the stuff they have in museum gift shops…my jewelry is not the most complicated pieces out there but it is what I like to wear…I am trying to branch out and use more than one or even two different stones in my pieces, old habits die hard
On May 16, 2009 at 10:19 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:No, I don’t think I know that is also called the zebra stone, makes sense though…not sure I would want to get at 4:30 am either, even for King Tut
On May 16, 2009 at 10:31 pm #
Southern Chick says:I’m still so “young” at this, I’m still not good enough to just use a couple of stones. I can really put together some “weird” combinations. I’m somtimes embarrassed by my “picks”. You are all to kind…. I’ll try to take a pic right now. We’ll see.
On May 16, 2009 at 10:32 pm #
Southern Chick says:I’m trying to upload the pic, and as usual, its being “horsey” with me! I’m sorry, it isn’t letting me browse for my pick. I’ll try tomorrow.
On May 16, 2009 at 10:34 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:funny how we see ourselves, I am in awe of people who create something out of alot of different stones, the piece has so much personality that way
On May 16, 2009 at 10:34 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:I’ve heard of Zebra Jasper – here? Neat pick! It would go with anything dressy or casual.
On May 16, 2009 at 10:35 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:no problem about the pic…I appreciate you trying
On May 16, 2009 at 10:36 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:Lori – LB has brown, mexican, yellow and red zebra, is that what you asking or am I confused?
On May 16, 2009 at 10:37 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Susan – another GREAT set!
Just noticed the carved barrel in this pick – what a cool bead!
On May 16, 2009 at 10:38 pm #
Southern Chick says:I got a fair pic, but when it says to browse, nothing pops up. I’ll try again tomorrow. I’m going to work on a chinese porcelain bead (blue and white) and cobalt beads that I bought today at a bead outlet shop that I unfortunately heard about. It was nice to actually see the LB beads in person, though.
On May 16, 2009 at 10:39 pm #
Southern Chick says:It says that a pic is attaching. I have no idea what…guess we’ll see, since I couldn’t choose it myself!
On May 16, 2009 at 10:39 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Sorry, I should have opened another window to look before commenting! Maybe it’s the red zebra that I’m thinking of. Or something from Hobby Lobby. I’m not called Dizzy for no reason!
On May 16, 2009 at 10:42 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:Lori – LOL!
On May 16, 2009 at 10:45 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:On May 16, 2009 at 10:47 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Southern Chick – you won’t see the photo till you post your comment. It took me a while to catch that one – I waited a minute or 2 before I figured it out!
On May 16, 2009 at 10:49 pm #
Southern Chick says:Yeah, I know that it takes FOREVER, but where it says to browse, nothing is coming up to browse on my computer, so I’m not able to select the pic that I want to upload. I’ll keep trying…Thanks for your patience and help.
On May 16, 2009 at 10:59 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:When you click on browse, do you get a directory of your computer? If so, then go to where you keep the photos – mine has a separate folder for them. Does that make sense?

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Cool necklace!
On May 17, 2009 at 12:48 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:I clicked on this pick cuz the title intrigued me…then I saw the necklace and you’ve given me a new appreciation for black and white stones. Thanks!

Smoky Rose says:cool, cool jewerlry, movie chick!!!!
I’m making something too – I’m in the rose family w/copper and moving like molasses today….. but I am moving, that’s a good thing

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:How’s the camera working out Smoky?

movie chick aka susan says:thanks chickies…i love black white jewelry…I am going to Vegas at the end of June, I want to find a new black dress to wear with this set for one of the nights I am there
On May 17, 2009 at 1:43 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:as far as the movie title, this is the movie I was watching when I made the set and water is a significant factor in the movie (i.e. black water jasper)
On May 17, 2009 at 1:47 pm #
Classy Chick JbyJill says:I love your set. It will look fantastic with your little black dress!!!! Vegas, baby!! Where are you staying??
On May 17, 2009 at 1:50 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:Jill – thank you!…staying @ Caesars…I am going with 3 girlfriends, should be a good time
On May 17, 2009 at 1:54 pm #
Classy Chick JbyJill says:Oh my!! That will be a blast!! Is it your first time??
On May 17, 2009 at 2:01 pm #
Classy Chick JbyJill says:What a qwinky dink!! lol I’m watching the Poker championship on t.v. It is being hosted at Caesar’s Palace!!!

movie chick aka susan says:I was there in 1996 but I know it has change dramatically since then.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:I love this!! Always wondered what the black water jasper would look like. Your set is beautiful, Susan.

Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:JEANNE I HAVE A QUESTION!
On May 17, 2009 at 3:19 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:yes…..
On May 17, 2009 at 3:21 pm #
Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:I am looking for a necklace that I believe you posted…it had chain at the ends of it…I don’t know the pick it was posted on and I am trying to teach myself how to do that…no good classes available here…can you help me? Thank you!
On May 17, 2009 at 3:22 pm #
Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:You are always SO good at knowing where things are here!
On May 17, 2009 at 3:27 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Was it a recent one? (I wonder if I saw it)
On May 17, 2009 at 3:27 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Do mean an extender chain – like this?
On May 17, 2009 at 3:28 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:I never saw that necklace…really cool! I just started using extender chains because so many people have requested them.
On May 17, 2009 at 3:30 pm #
Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:That is a beautiful necklace! It WAS a more recent one…perhaps in blue stones?
The chain extender was more visible. I think it was the necklace you posted just before the pink prom necklace.
On May 17, 2009 at 3:31 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Thanks so much Little Chick. It’s one of my favorites and it’s all mine! You may recall a discussion a few months back about LB’s gr. tourmalated quartz and prehnite I bought locally. Well I decided LB’s is the same & it’s half the price!
On May 17, 2009 at 3:38 pm #
Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:How wonderful that you kept that beauty for yourself!
I’m off to church, I’ll check in later!
I will also check online tutorials later..I really appreciate your instant call for help Jeanne!
On May 17, 2009 at 3:38 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:I went through all of my photos and I’m not sure which one.
When I want to attach chain or just links to the end, I attach a closed jumpring before crimping. then use open jump rings as links. You can use split rings if you’re worried about open ones. I’ve also used 2 rings if it’s a heavier piece.
On May 17, 2009 at 3:39 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:I also learned to attach chain with a wrapped looped, like in the prom set.
I hope I was helpful
On May 17, 2009 at 3:44 pm #
Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:Thank you Jeanne!
