Whoa! Do you get different vacation weeks? It takes me so long to list on Etsy that it never feels productive!
Now painting…that’s productive. We’ve managed to put off our painting for another few months.
Have a great week! xoxo

Gosh, it’s hard to pick just one of these as my favorite. Busy girl you have been coming up with all of these beautiful designs. I am loving the cord in the third necklace and that background sings spring.

Hey LeAnn, you have been pretty busy yourself! I’ve been having fun with the knotted cord.
We woke up to snow on Thursday, but spring is definitely right around the corner. Lots of fat robins around, and buds showing up on the trees.

is that an alligator/crocodile in the rock cave holding the necklace in the picture just above the bottom one? Is s/he catching the necklace and trying to eat it? (just don’t let him/her follow the old Barbie!)
Are the blue/green/grayish beads patinas, maybe some Persian indigo? The angle and light make the beads look different from each other.

Good eye on several counts! The alligator just likes chomping down on things. I think it really is time for the return of the Barbie lobster. She could move inshore this time…in a spring wardrobe…
The beads are actually dyed freshwater pearls. Its a dark blue, almost black, but with some iridescence, so the greens and blues show at different angles.
