Beady Little Eyes says:This is lovely Moogie. It’s great for Christmas. Love the Peyote bezel around your stone. The earrings are great also.

Robin nursechick says:Moogie, it’s beautiful! Did you follow the Bronze pony for your bezeling? I love the cabochon stone and your choice of seed beads looks awesome with it. Did you have fun doing it- at first when I started I got so frustrated with!. It took a couple of them to feel comfortable with it. Love it!

Crystal Canary says:Oh Moogie, stunning work! Perfect choice of seeds to match & accentuate the stone. And how special are those earrings?! Did you find it challenging? For your first attempt, you receive an A++++!

K Ralston says:More than a decent attempt, I’d say. It looks flawless. I love the earrings. For some reason they make me think of peacocks. There’s no explaining how my mind works, LOL. They are simply beautiful.
