Opal Craziness

I got bit by the opal bug so I decided to make a bunch of opals in weird colors.  Ok, some are *standard* opals but the rest are fun.  :)  I beaded my favorite yellow one but now I'm stuck on what to do for a rope.  Beaders... what say you?  I'm thinking a simple peyote rope?

And here's a standard color one.  It's slightly gray so I beaded with hematite colored beads, opal-y Swarovski crystals and black tourmaline.  My brain cell almost died doing that tassel thing.  :(
