I’ve wondered if building in the round hut-shaped way would help buildings survive tropical storms better? On the other hand, I suppose we’re looking at water/surge damage, not just winds, right? The roiling water tears the shells away from moorings, and cages are separated from anchors...

Thanks, Charlotta! Aren’t we lucky?

Wow, gorgeous, and look at you with the soufflé earrings! All wonderful!

I’m really sweating these website changes, so may I say WOW, I can’t believe how gorgeous all of y’alls pearls are!!! To infinity!

I don’t know how you guys re-write websites and such, I’m grateful and have a lot of respect for what you’ve done. I’m also grateful all of our pearlies have patience, and I haven’t gotten the boot, for messing-up and -about, as I learn. Here are some of the potential add-on pearlsp for the PP...

You did a really good job with your photos! When I use my fingers to expand the pictures, they are still very crisp and the colors and details are perfect!

If she’s like her mother, she’ll have any number of creative ways to play with this! :rolleyes: in fact, I’d be prepared to mail her the rest of the pearls with a “Pattye” kit. Or Wendy kit. Or Bernadette kit, or Cees. Our crowd gets around!

Well, not so great. Ok, this is better; if I can enlarge it on my phone and see the clear reflection, it’s a Win.

I’m going to try again. I think the problem is my sizing

That glow is phenomenal! and Cathy, take heart, please, you have to stick around! When you disappear, we worry and miss you!

I think The Spanish girl had a maid, and a longer necklace because the portrait shows shadows of dark glowing beads winding up her braid. Or a shorter necklace, with extenders and ribbons, but I don’t think so. It’s not totally comfortable, but the braid supports a lot of the weight. Ta-da...

Ok! I sort of approximated the Spanish girl, but by myself, so it’s only an approximation. 1) French braid to base of skull, rubber band, pony tail left. 2) 18” Tahitian, ball clasp 3) clasp necklace around neck 4) knot long narrow scarf over the clasp 5) haul the necklace and scarf above the...

I’ll try again. I have some 2008 metallics/exotics, bought second-hand a decade-plus later. The necklace is very short but I’m lucky to have some strands of small pearls from Pattye with a generous sprinkling of metallics. Now I’ll try to post a before-disassembling photo, because the pearls...

And wow, you’ve been busy! Very creative inner eye, with your new arrangements. Hurray for your kitty, too! Did she forgive you?

Thanks for the update and laugh, Charlotta! I know, no matter how I consider it, powdered wig or powdered hair, how was the necklace balanced or attached so it didn’t pull at her scalp, or choke her?

I’ve been thinking more about the young woman in the portrait, and your daughter. Probably you all realized this already, but I thought the subject had wound leaves through her powdered hair (or wig), and I was thinking “Gross, the leaf fluids will get all over the pearls, and the leaves...

So wonderful, such an accomplished job, you’re just awesome! Ovation! and oh, that drop....took my breath away, all of it.
