For me, this summer has meant spending time at the local pool with my kids--while they swim, and I relax, LOL! This summer my 5yo daughter taught herself how to swim. Which left me to sit back, and read, and create. I actaully made this piece AT the pool on Friday (8/14). I started with square white shell beads, and round blue shell beads, and tiny pearls. I then added in glass beads in the colors of the water, bright and shimmering, to pick up the blues of the pendant. I finished it off with off-white and sandy shades of small glass beads.
Since I give all of my necklaces names, I'm calling this one Alina (pretty one), in honor of my DD since her favorite color is now blue, and her swimming was the inspiration for the piece.
Watch for details on the upcoming challenge voting contest, and find out how you can vote for my entry (or another favorite). We will be giving away a prize to one lucky voter!
