These copper and fibre beads from jimenastreasures.etsy.com work very well with the ceramic beads and thread onto 0.5 leather thong. The colours are quite subtle, and for this I used seafoam, matte gold and peach washers and a few glazed ceramic beads in olive, ochre and mint.

Silver plated findings.
