Close-up of new project I am working on:

gorrrgeouuusssss

I wanna make it into a brooch now Lui!! I may have to make another one just to have a statement jacket piece

Maybe it's just me, Lee but it seems like you've had an explosion of creativity 😍

nnnggh, that would look so good on a jacket

I haven't noticed it being an explosion, but then again I'm really not vending this year so a lot of stress is off me. So maybe I have had an explosion of inspiration or something?

it would look so good on a jacket! I really need to make another one of these

that looks kickass!

omigosh that's amazing - I love the way the transluscent glass on the sea shells makes it look wet from the sea

it's stunning!!

Thank you guys! last night I spent hours, HOURS going through a quart-size bag of ocean-tumbled mother of pearl pieces that I've been given, to add to the project. I finally got them set up the way I wanted and now I am beading around them.

I’m just blown away by the mosaic work happening here. It’s like they were always meant to fit like that.

DANG lady

and I would've been like 'hmmm I dunno about the cobalt glass with all that teal...' but you already worked it into the centerpiece with those cool little keystone beads and swarovskis, so it's perfect! You're soo good at colors!
