Trollperle posted a picture the other day of a bracelet including one of her beads which she had thought did not work with her beads and hadn't used before. I was thinking the same about the Firefly and Purple Mosaic I got in one of the sales last summer and was going to offer them for swap or sale  but thought I should have a try with them before I did. Here is the result which I am happy with and it is a change from my usual blue.purple - Dusky Pinks and Purple 00614

I love this color and your bracelet
Sometimes beads just work if you dont try so hard with them. Also I have found is the weather  sunny  makes the diffrents

This is wonderful. It has blue undertones. I think it would look great with blue. You'll probably find you already have clothing that looks great with it. Perfect for spring. So many spring flowers are these shades.

Oh so pretty! Love the dillo and the braid. What's the glass bead next to the white petals (third from the purple mosaic)?

Thank you everyone,
@ Mini gnome, when I put them together on a rod to take a photo before seling/swapping I realised how perfect they were together and realised I had to find a way of using them.
@BB11The dillo was made for me at a beadmaker event at one of my LDs. The braid was one of the first beads I bought when I started collecting, I bought a lot of pink at first, I didn't intend to because I planned a blue (favourite colour) bracelet. The bead next to White Petals is a Jasper, the photo is a bit dark so it is not very clear but it is almost a twin to the Jasper next to the silver butterfly at the front.

These colors are so soft and pretty and you did a wonderful job combining all those luscious gemstones and glass.
