The bead

I purchased several black strands, an almost black matte, and clear red.

I would really like to do the black matte on the Havana piece instead of cording but haven't made a decision yet.  I may take the fringed piece to test colors, if I find a good blue I will replace the fringe.  Jewelry aisle, loads of options, but not tiny.  Tomorrow I will pick up the faceted smaller reds and a few others.  Even without 40% off, they are a really reasonable (but special) trim to consider.  

Later!!
