Hi Mark, hope all is okay!
I feel so free with the toddler, I mean puppy, out of the house today! He likes me to be around, so I don't go to the basement. So, I took advantage and after poking around with the beads, I whipped up a necklace and earring set today for myself. I bought the beads over a year ago, and never sat down to do anything with them. It was a groupon deal to a local bead store. I had to spend the whole coupon at once at a very, very overpriced store. So, I chose some beads that coordinated, but needed a bit more to pull them together. I found a few things and think it is pretty good. It looks a bit dark. The center bead and earrings have a pinkish tone, and all the beads are a "picasso" or sort of mottled bronzed finish to them.
