Um...again.
Because I finally got my hands on the new summer issue of "Stringing" via a friend at work (who got hers already while I still don't have mine!) I'm actually holding it in my hot little hands! I'm so excited to have FIVE pieces (three necklaces, a bracelet and a pair of earrings) in it.
Actually, I've passed excited.
I've entered giddy.
Next? I may need oxygen.
I still remember the day I took my camera to the beach last summer hoping to take some "inspiration-worthy" pictures. Mostly I got some ugly looking mussel-covered rocks with bloated starfish on them, but amongst all the shots was this one:
I wondered if it was possible to mix the gold and ivory sand shades with the gray-green, lavender and purple of the anemone tentacles and actually come up with a coherent design.
The answer turned out to be a resounding YES! And, fortunately for me, the editors of "Stringing" agreed and my "Anemone Pool" necklace - with its guardian mermaid pendant - is one of the pieces featured in this most recent issue.
What a great pre-birthday present for me.
I'll take that oxygen now ;-)

That is sooo cool! I love beachy colored things. What a beautiful piece! Now I need to ask are you breathing yet?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, hands down, my favorite issue of Stringing. It is like holding my friends in my hands, this one. And I don't even, really, have a piece in it. Well, actually, that is my piece in the SoftFlex ad across from your smiling face, so I guess it is like I am in it! But I don't get a free copy. Or a check. CONGRATS! What a sweet birthday present (And really, why is it that I have my copy before the designer does? That just ain't right.)
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Enjoy the day.
