This holiday weekend I am at the beach. Looking outside at the clouds and sea mist coming in making the grass and road wet... feeling so grateful to be here.
Yesterday was fairly dry and I took Miss Molly for a walk down on the beach. She loves to run free and chase the seagulls. I call to her and offer treats to keep her close.
We saw a lot of garbage that has washed up. Maybe from the Japanese tsunami? Reports say it may be washing up for years.
Inspiring is how nature takes things over
and makes them her own...
The blue on these sea shells are exactly what I had in mind when I was making these earrings. The lampwork beads are Bubby and McGurk Beads... fantastic colors!
I really wanted to add some shimmery blue kyanite stones (which matched perfectly!) but I felt like the lampwork was enough. They really stand on their own and do not need anything more!
The starfish charms add a feeling of "at the beach".
Capped in hand forged sterling silver
wrapped in thick 20 gauge ss wire.
Hoops are hand forged and fused 14 gauge fine silver.
Oxidized for beauty and character.
Hand polished.
Available for purchase at Art and Soul Jewelry.
(update: sold!)
Peace & Blessings~

Gorgeous!! I think those lampies are amazing and can see why you were ok with not adding kyanite. I always love mixed metals!
