Melody F says:Beautiful! I love the green leaf, and the little white flower charm next to it for contrast really shows it off. And the pearls and gold leaf and toggle make it dressy, while the pebbles allow it also to be jeans worthy. One of your best!

Stingray says:There is a fanciful balance to this that really reminds me of the first greens after the spring rains.

Crystal Canary says:Althea, I love how you used the green Cloisonné leaf! Using just two colors in this design was an excellent choice. The little white daisy–perfection by the way–complements & enhances the leaf magnificently. So full of life & energy. (May I borrow your design idea?!)

Althea A says:Crystal, you can certainly borrow my design idea. It’s such a great compliment that you want to.
