D-I-L bought a pair of gorgeous red suede heels to wear with her black dress--that was the inspiration! They deserved to be in the photo! Necklace is her early Christmas gift----------

Thank you all for your kind remarks!

I have a brilliant shades of purple (some dyed) necklace and earrings, I bought from Pattye at ETSY. I don't have a photo, but maybe Pattye can put one up.

Here you go Caitlin,

As usual, it is difficult to catch all the nuances of color-------

The petal pearls are 3/4" to 1 inch long--pretty good size. I lost track of how many times I restrung them-----------.

The pendant is just another fun little piece with a leaf bead cap (yes, I am obsessed, but they don't sit on top like dunce hats-LOL-I can't remember who said they didn't like bead caps because of that--). The fw pearl is about 10mm x 16mm.

Hi Again,

I can't remember, sorry, who wanted to see what I did with the monster keishi from Carolyn--here they are strung with 20k gold beads. The photo picked up more gold for some reason----earrings to coordinate still on the drawing board----
