A pair of bracelets is what's up for today. I am again participating in a Lisa Lodge challenge. The theme this time is beaches. I have had this pair of bracelets in my head for a while. Only one got put together though. I decided to show the layout of the second one as well. I used the freeform flat sea glass pieces from znetshows.com that were in the kit. I also used a green sea glass sand dollar and a pair of fish from them that were in my stash to help with the beaches look. Shell shaped beads and a pearl dangle were all that it took to complete the first bracelet. The focal of the second bracelet is a real shell and I added some teal colored pearls to represent the water. Thanx for looking.

    Gorgeous - for some reasons I cannot make bracelets, but I love seeing them. The pearl dangle is just perfect in there! And so is the splash of green ~ definitely spelling beach for me!

    I love that you used a real shell in one bracelet. I also love the sea glass sand dollar focal as well. Nice work!

      Thanx Ann, It feels good to have other beaders like my work. I knew from the minute that the challenge was announced that I would use real shells in it. My plan was to use several but this is how it turned out. I like the organic look of real shells and they pair well with sea glass.

    Very nice. I love your green fish! and that shell. I have a bunch from the beach I think I will drill and use with my left over sea glass. Great job!

    Love them both! The way you are using the shell and finish in the WIP says it's going to be marvelous when it's done.

    Becky, I love that real shell! I wish I had found some when we were at the beach, but they're pretty picked over at a resort. =) Beautiful pieces, indeed!
