It may look innocent enough, but this necklace gave me a headache. These shells weren't fun to string- to get this thicker look, I had to string onto 3 threads. 1 shell on each thread, then one shell on all three threads, 1 shell on each thread, etc. etc. Kind of like this:
The cool part about these shell beads is that I found them at an antique mall.... A very long strand of them for $3! It was a really lucky find. I just hope they don't look too gaudy. I like them paired with the teal, and luckily I had stuff in my stash to go perfectly with this Sand Dollar pendant from Patina Queen!
I am off to download some new music. I found a new band on iTunes that I really like a lot. Slow Runner - Their cd is called Mermaids.
oooo Lorelei that is one awesome necklas - I can hear the beach just looking at it.....Which I could use about now. Check out why at my blog

ReplyDeleteI usually have more luck drawing out my thoughts on paper! Sometimes the words just get jumbled! I'm going to include more of this kind of thing later.
ReplyDeleteI am loving your blog by the way.I read it every day. Did you have someone help you with the layout? I love the 3 column layout, but can't seem to get it to work for mine.
The necklace is lovely - not gawdy at all! Neat to see how it all came together :) I'll convo you about the three column blog!
