Cindy surely has an 'eye' for what to put in a 'bead soup' as the beads almost fell into place for me...LOL! Here is the link to Cindy's site so that you can view what she did with the beads that I sent to her.

I first used the colorful mix of square glass beads with one of the two kinds of bone beads that she sent to me. I chose to use a copper leaf clasp and daisy spacers as the copper seemed to blend better with the bead mix; instead of the silver square toggle clasp that she gave me (she sent me TWO wonderfully different clasps!).

| Lovely little dangles. |
 |
| Copper toggle leaf clasp... |
The second piece turned out even better! I used tiny clear/gold AB coated seed beads in between the etched round bone beads and the rose quartz beads...also used the seed beads to 'define' the area above the bone butterfly focal.

| I really like way the rose quartz and the etched bone beads went so well together...and the butterfly focal was a perfect fit with it...! |
