This beading project was fun, since I had no idea that I already possessed the perfect shades of firepolish beads for this particular dichroic bead pendant from Caravan Beads. At that time, my firepolish bead stash was pretty light. That is no longer the case, not after my visit with the folks at Shipwreck Beads and the armload of firepolish beads they sent home with me. But with my sad little bead stash of that time, I would never in a million years have believed that I not only had the perfect firepolish beads, but that I also owned the perfect shades of seed beads, too. They were right there, in the bead rack, just waiting for me to bead them into a beautiful new necklace. It was a case of the right beads in the right place at the right time.

With the Perfect Shades of Firepolish Beads
From Paula S. Morgan, former About.com Guide
I love it when I find the right beads to work with something as complex as dichroic glass; it's too easy to just string it with black beads and call it good.
