For this first pair, I selected faceted vintage glass beads in a deep olive green. I topped them with Hill Tribe beadcaps with a flower motif, followed by an olive green glass bead and another sterling silver bead.
Next, I chose 8mm amethyst beads and topped them with a beadcap with a scallop design and a smaller amethyst bead.
One observation about these Hill Tribe components is that they can be a bit irregular. I have found that the hole in the bead cap is sometimes off-center. This makes it so the cap does not sit on the bead properly. I have yet to figure out how to use those particular beadcaps.

Why not as a charm on a necklace where if it hung a little cattywampus it wouldn't matter as much...
Or if you made a linked chain of small rondelles from an eye pin and the bead cap was like a little umbrella. That could be sweet...
Vicki, you have such a great eye. One day, you might make something I wouldn't like, but I just don't see that happening!
