That medley rope is gorgeous Jeg. I tried to make a similar one with some 7-8mm tahitians that I bought a while ago from Druzydesign. I added some bigger pearls to it. But it just wasn't right. Those small pearls are a 27 inches long strand now that I really like. I have made a mixed tahitian rope recently out of drop tahitian pearls of different sizes. It's much better than my previous attempts. I show it to you all when I am better, I have been sick for over a week. I am starting to feel a bit better so hopefully I can be back to work later this week. And then take some photos this weekend.
Bweaves, your blue akoyas looks lovely on that teal dress. I do the same thing as you do, when I find some piece of clothing that I like, I get it in every color (well every color that I like that is).
