frustrating W.I.P.

I have been messing with this stupid thing for 3 days now....

About a month ago I received an order of beads and as I was putting them away I just happened on a combination I thought would go awesome with the polymer roses I had made earlier and I figured as soon as I had a chance I could throw together a necklace and earring set.

Did I keep that group of beads off to the side??  ...Umm NO... 

  Did I, at least,  keep one of each in a little bowl so I would remember the combo when I had the chance to get to it??  ..Umm NO....

I know it had some red and that is what I liked the most...the red.

It also had these long gold spacers and I think white pearls?

Didn't like the pearls, so I tried these glass thingies.  I like them better but now I think I'm likin' the

silver spacers better.  And I think they work better with the pearls.

I may have to give up completely on the red, but I am going to keep trying a little longer.

I may have to throw the polymer roses back into the bowl until I have an "aha" moment.

It remains to be seen.

On a less frustrating note, here is a shot of the VERY early stages of my latest baby dragon.
