At last and probably the last one to finish and post; so many factors went into my tardiness, it would be a very long story ending with my husband not finding his cable for I could post my pictures.  I hang my head that aren't the best pictures, but it was his first time with beads let alone sea shell reflecting beads.....so here it goes...


From my partner Mowsy Doyle, I received a collection of natural beads and shells, which I have never worked with Seashells before.  Also among the soup was this great focal, of a shell with clay dragon embedded on it.  So the juices flowed,

My first piece came together using some beads I had that looked like sea glass

I called it my Seaglass necklace set

for my second piece, I decided to use the pink shell and make more traditional necklace, yet a little modern, the center bead is a mother of pearl, photograph badly,  

This one is called Sea Moon necklace, 

my only regret I had no shells left to make some earrings

Next one, my daughter said I went mystical and this one she called my SeaChakra

I thought to make a choker but those beads I mentioned in a previous blog entry are still hiding.

Finally, the focal bead needed a more bohemian aspect and a simple cord with dangles

 afterward, the dangles could become earrings, but hindsight is always perfect, and I ran out a clasp at this point......

My first BeadSoup and I already know I could've done better,.....

I wish to thank Lori for letting me join and helping me over some hurdles and aspects which I'll probably need help with again.....lol.....
So far all the blogs I have seen, make me very humble with my little creations, but my designs tend to go simple......
