Totally influenced by a forum member some years ago who did it first, and I liked it. I don't remember if he was selling small groups with the opaque pink in between the small Peru-traded seven layers, or if he did some finished necklaces. But the color combo is nice in person. The chevrons are tiny, just 5mm - 10mm, and the Czech pink seed beads are size 11, which is about 2.5mm.....so nothing loud or splashy. I like it. But green would have looked nice too, I totally agree.
