I spend a lot of time as I am making my purchases playing around with color, shape and texture. These are a few strands of beads I bought one day that I was messing around with while we were all at lunch. I am home now with a suitcase of new treasures. I will be posting some pictures of the spring/summer line of jewelry as the inspiration comes along. Lots of yellow, orange, greens and blues with some black and crystal. Thanks for the interest, and I hope this gives you some insight into the process. dorene
