Pearls
For many years, I didn't design with pearls. Now I do like the
colored FWP, especially the black ones. I also like the top drilled ones, they make a nice bracelet pattern. I'm especially fond of pink, purple, silver and teal ones. Patti |

I really like the colored FWP as well, and the top-drilled rice.
Here's a bracelet I made with bright purple rice pearls, red AB Czech beads, and red and purple seed beads: http://snipr.com/1ntki A gift to my MIL for Mother's Day. -- KathyZ "Patti" wrote in message oups.com...

Pearls
Favorite type: All.
Favorite colors: White & Peach tones. But I have a few precious true black pearls - black as night, not the AB Dk. Purple - that I absolutely treasure. I like to make anything and everything with pearls! By far, my fave design is Kate McKinnon's pearl bracelet. I took her class at Bead & Button a few years back and love the weaving and wirewrapping process that it takes to make a bracelet loaded with moving pearls. -- hugs, Linda Tucker-cat photos: http://www.picturetrail.com/bluemaxx "Zk" wrote in message ... : Question for group discussion: : : What is your favorite type(s) and color(s) of freshwater pearls? and what do : you like to make with them? : -- : KathyZ : : |

I LOVE PEARLS!!
I am so glad to see so many people love pearls - like me!
I buy them when I don't need them and I love to sort them. Sometimes, I just look over the many boxes of pearls that I have to see if I will be inspired to create something with those creamy beads. I used to think that pearls were for old ladies only... even though I loved them and wanted to use them in everything, I wouldn't because of how I thought they were perceived by others. I know different now and I am finding that pearls are fast in becoming a major and leading "gem" to use for all kinds of jewelry. YEAH for us pearl lovers!! Anyone else feel this way?? My favorites have to be the white or cream colored ones, but there is something to be said for the mauves, pinks, lilacs, gold, and all the other colored one too. I like the pastel colors better than the dark true colored ones like navy blue or Kelly green. Great post KathyZ - I really am glad to see that I am not the only crazed pearl freak out there. My last pearl conquest was a 16 inch strand of A++ nearly round 8 mm creamy white unbleached pearls. Got em at a local bead show last year and they are so gorgeous and perfect that I haven't yet come up with what to do with them. They are just too beautiful to use in a simple strand cause that's old school and I am not the best pearl knotter. Any one have any ideas for me?? Sterling "Zk" wrote in message ...
