And here are some photos of the one and only piece of jewelry I had time to create while I was there:
Yeah...no connection whatsoever LOL!
I do think I'm going to change out the clasp - that just happened to be all I had with me in my "travel kit" of bead projects. The cute little charm is from Mamacita on Etsy.
I used 20 gauge sterling silver wire to wrap everything together.
The disk beads and the large faceted aqua bead are polymer clay from Floridity.
Accent beads are freshwater pearls, drilled sea glass, drilled beach stone, Thai silver scallop shell and a mother-of-pearl donut.
It sure felt good to get a chance to actually make something - I really am trying to get my groove back.
Check back tomorrow for bead porn!

Live the bracelet and it's inspiration -- gorgeous. And I am salivating for some bead porn!

It's a beautiful bracelet!
Isn't it intriguing how much our environment can influence/inspire us without our noticing? I did the same thing on my most recent vacation. I just barely eked out two necklaces that were absolutely products of the locations I visited. And, I didn't even realize it until I sat back and looked at the pieces. WEIRD!
I love it! The colors are wonderful! I tend toward those muted colors, though!
HOLY #$&*!@#!!!! This is up there with my favorite of anything anyone has ever made with my beads!!!! That looks awesome! I love how you broke up the cairns with the silver spacers!...and I love how they pair with the stone and sea glass!
Looove it.
The colours are fantastic - just like an overcast day at the beach - takes me right back to childhood days...
