Robin nursechick says:CK, I gotta say up front, the eyeball kinda creeps me out- I think I’ve watched too many episode of criminal minds. Having said that, I love all the others. The bird, the jasper and the rest are awesome awesome.

dolllady aka Pam says:Welcome to the family of beaders on LB Fresh Picks. Your first pick is great. I am a retired teacher and love the eye. I always wanted to buy one to use on my beaded lanyard to tell my students that it was my third eye and was always watching them.

Maggies Mom says:Welcome to addicting LB! I’m glad to hear someone else is creeped out by the eye! I’m not a skull-lover either, to be honest. But you’ll have lots of fun and learn lots in the design section!

Beady Little Eyes says:Lovely picks. Welcome.
Pam – so funny about the eye.

BevB says:Nice picks! You have some of my favorites. I agree with Robin about the eye.

Robin nursechick says:Gee wiz-i addressed you as CK when I should have said KC. Is KC ok? It was the eye -you know what it reminds me of? Back in the day mad magazine had that kid on the front those big eyes-anyhoo also failed to welcome you, so welcome, welcome and I hope you enjoy silliness-we share that too!

Melody F says:Welcome K corkery! Your 1st pick is very artistic. It would make a thought provoking wall hanging, mobile, or shadow box. Also there are some great combinations for bracelets and necklaces. I like the brass disk with the African turquoise. The hibiscus coins alternating with the faceted rectangles would be a gorgeous bracelet. And that love bird could land on a big 16mm blue Calsilica Jasper round bead (they remind me of planet earth).

Little Round Chick says:OK, I’ve got to agree… That eye-ball is creeeeepy but it has great color. I’ll add my welcome to all of the others. Have fun, play with colors, add textures and pick often!

Old bitty says:Thanks everyone. This first was a bit nerve racking. I included the eye because it was so well done,but yes creepy. Lol. I was thinking about bracelets too. Especially the designer mix
