They are in order, Translucent Root-beer, Plain Root-beer, and Translucent Cream Soda. SIde by side, as in the top photo, there are some that seem a better choice. Yet, when you look at them in the individual pictures, they each look pretty nice. I hate to think I might have to work another swatch, but that may be my only choice. What do you think sport fans?<br /><br />By the way, my beads came from <a href="firemountaingems.com/">Fire Mountain Gems.</a> They have a great online catalog, and really quick service. I ordered the beads on Tuesday, and there were here today! My three kinds cost a mere $9.46, with P/H being $7.40. With gas being what it is, it was worth paying the postage, especially since I didn't even know if the local shop would have what I wanted. The online pictures were right on, and I think all three have potential.Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12878880272814076501noreply@blogger.com
