I really love small mixes of leftover beads; they make such great accents when combined with other beads. These chartreuse and red die were part of a Czech glass destash I bought. (I’m still waiting for the perfect project for the dogs that were included!) The die inspired the color combination for this necklace I made for Lori Anderson‘s Bead Soup Blog Party last year. 
So when I saw a Czech glass mix of squares and ovals, I bought it knowing it would make its way into a design. I got this fabulous large, lightweight owl from Kim Mayberry Ouellette. In looking through my beads, I saw this little mix and the colors are perfect! I added a couple small strands of Czech glass rondelles. 
I think the owl and the larger Czech glass beads really complement each other. 
Yay for leftover bead mixes!

Stunning owl necklace. Love the color combinations you chose!!
I love the red and yellow die necklace! You do so well with designing an asymmetrical necklace. Your choices of beads and colors just plain work!
Oh, the brightness of that chartreuse and red necklace is so eye-catching. It’s not a palette I would have come up with naturally, but you made it work beautifully. It’s so fun and so perfect for summer. There’s something about bright colors and summer that just go together. Or, is that just a me-thing?
