I do have lots of little green clay frog beads that I do sell. I have to list them but I do have one finished necklace to show the end result. They are so fun. :) https://www.etsy.com/listing/88722168/polymer-clay-frog-and-lily-pad-necklace?ga_search_query=green

Here is one of my favorite focal beads. I love butterflies. This one is greens and yellows and I can add all kinds of accents or make them any size. These are just about the size of a silver dollar. Just the right size for a pendant of a bracelet. I have over 50 colors. http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/Kimis-Jewelry-From-The-Heart/4484303/Focal_Bead_-_Green_Butterfly/Jewelry/Handmade_Jewelry_Supplies/Beads
