tomasina says:Has a lovely spacious feeling, like a forest of mostly evergreens that reach high before branching and leave walking space – and that soft carpet of sweet-smelling needles. Wonderful.

EPBCornell says:Wondrously appealing. I can almost smell the fresh air. Your pick has a splendid sense of space. The varied bead sizes & shapes would create a piece of jewelry with the same. Absolutely lovely. I miss the spruce and pine woods with stands of birch and quaking aspen back in Maine that this evokes so beautifully.
