Fall Spirit | Messy’s Stone Ground
What do I like about Messy’s Stone Ground? It’s the nicest color for this time of year and goes well with a variety of blues, as you can see here.

The turquoise green area is goldstone on top of silver foil. The texture is a little different than if silver foil is applied on top of goldstone. I used a crunch press to make this bead.
