Mermaid muse is a dancin!!!!!

Good Morning!! I hope that the day started off great for YOU. Each morning that  I wake up then my morning definitely starts out great. HEY...I'm getting old. ^_^

I didn't get to post yesterday because I was busy working on some necklaces and ummmm well, I ummmm, kinda started reading a new book and well ummmm couldn't put it down..hehe!! I love to read but that's not what this post is about.  It's about showing you the necklaces I made. (with my mermaid muse happily dancin about)

Pretty, yes? It's a scallop shell found on one of our beach walks in Gulf Shores. Well, ok, it's actually two scallop shells found on the beach walk in Gulf Shores..HA!! The bigger one, I just fell in love with the colors that Mother Nature herself gave it. The deep red or rust and the light and dark gray...so pretty. Since it was a tad bit broken I decided to place a small scallop on top of it...with the same beautiful colors. It's attached to 26 inch hemp rope with a Tibetan charm holder with silver twisted wire running through the shell. Mother Nature placed those holes in just the perfect place, eh? It has a circle and bar closure.

This one I made using one of my broken moon shells found on a walk at Fort Morgan. It's attached to a 24 inch hemp rope on a Tibetan charm holder with silver twisted wire and hemp rope. Another one painted by Mother Nature. She so has the eye!!

Here's one of the olive shells that washes up already polish to perfection. (found at Gulf Shores) It's on a 24 inch hemp rope that has a barrel clasp closure. It's attached with hemp rope to a Tibetan charm holder and has a silver Tibetan turtle charm attached as well. This olive shell is a tad bit, I mean just a smidgen over 2 inches.

I think today I'm going to make a few pretty hair barrettes with some of the scallop shells. They are just so pretty and well....I think would look even prettier placed in someones hair. I mean, mermaids can't have all the lovely shells for just their hair.

Until next time............Hugs,

Beach does a body good!!!

Good afternoon!! I hope everyone has had an awesome weekend so far. I know that mine is going along quite nicely so far. We went on a small beach walk earlier today and it was soooo nice to recharge our batteries. hehe  I didn't find any big stashes of shells but did find a few small ones here and there. It was nice just feeling the sun on our faces and smelling the salt air.

I worked on the hermies and mermies this morning and I think they turned out fairly well. Let me know what ya think please.

The hermies will look so much better when I get them in their little habitats. I'm having to watch Boo and Callie really close because apparently they think they are real and keep trying to smack them with the paw and hissing at them. Silly cats!!!

I also worked on some jewelry pieces using some of my olive shells and one of my tiny Nautilus shells. I did my twisted square knot hemp rope ones and then attached the shells with pretty charms. I'm working on a necklace now that will have one of the bigger olives and a larger silver turtle charm.
