Beady Little Eyes says:Thanks kye and sweetjane.
Robin – I checked out Pinterest – some lovely jewelry. I usually try to stay away from Pinterest – afraid it will influence my design choices. (or maybe it makes me feel inadequate) – Ha.

Crystal Canary says:What a fantastic pattern! How do you come up with these patterns? I get a lot of my ideas right after I wake up and am still in bed trying to get myself going–some where between half-asleep and consciousness. The red against the ivory really shows off the design.

Beady Little Eyes says:Thanks Crystal – I just start playing around. Sometimes I get inspiration when half asleep also.
