Sometimes simple is best

I've been practicing making dots on beads and liked this sort of restrained color combo of coral over ivory with little metallic black dots for accent. This shape is called lentil (bean maybe?) about 15mm diameter.  I used some head pins from Michael's with a pewter metallic tone for the earrings and pendant to match the little metallic glass dots on the beads.

These actually surpassed my idea of what they should be, then considering the solar system failure, I'm thinking it's just "win some, lose some". If I keep at it, there are bound to be some successes!
