Just Use Your Imagination...

I had WANTED to post some photos of some beads that I got this week but when I went home, and tried to take some shots in the beautiful sunshine we unexpectedly had, I couldn't even take a single one--the battery was dead. It is currently recharging...So instead, I'll have to tell you about them. I bought some beautiful warm, rich, deep orange-brown carnelian briolettes that I plan to mix with copper colored pearls, I bought large orange-gold crab fire agate rondelles and then I bought this beautiful mix of tumbled crystal, rose quartz, smoky quartz and amethyst beads. I think that for the last items, I can string them together with some simple silver spacers between them and add a silver toggle and have a beautiful necklace. For the crab fire agate, I might use gold-filled beads, which, while not inexpensive, will highlight the warmth of the stone more than silver would.
