So often things just don't look or work out the way we had envisioned and, like you, we come up with a plan B. In this case all of your plan B's are perfectly gorgeous.Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-83929121260077209802014-10-22T10:45:32.848-04:002014-10-22T10:45:32.848-04:00Why of course everything is a bead!

I especially like the pearls because they are such the opposite of what one expects an upcycled design to look like. <br /><br />And I am glad that I am not the only one that ends up with beads that aren't the size I imagined. I do that all the time with beads in my stash. I will design out a piece in my mind to find out that the beads I remembered were a different size.<br />Shai Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625514249141386180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-76292044157730061052014-10-20T08:24:53.949-04:002014-10-20T08:24:53.949-04:00Those gray pearls are beautiful!

I love the look and oh that leave chain. So cool. Good learning experience. We have tons of acorns at the beginning of the driveway. They actually fall on the car as I'm turning in.

You, however, pulled it off! I love that pearl necklace - so sophisticated - and the ribbon addition is perfection! You look at everything as if it were a bead, because it CAN be! You need a bracelet to match! LOL!

The filigree earrings are very classy looking and I love the combo. The pearls made a very elegant necklace. As for bead sizes, I don't think I will ever get it right - most times I order beads thinking they will be substantial and when I get them they are about the size of seed beads lol.

Anne must be thrilled with them too :-) And the other earrings ~ so warm and beautiful. The flow of the pearl necklace is so feminine and lovely. And I laughed so hard at the pearl and jasper miscalculation!!! I rarely go beyond 6-8mm in my stash because that is as high a size as my brain will allow me to visualize! LMAO.
