$15 - Dyed pearl with blue agate and lead-free pewter spacers.
I FINALLY made a stretchy after messing around with toggles, because I literally had no idea what to do with these purple pearls. Instead of sitting in front of them with an empty string waiting for an inspiration, I decided against anything too complex a design. Simplicity for not so simple materials proves to be the best route to inspiration, for me at least. 

Not for sale. One of my friends gave me a little bundle of these feathers, so I decided to do something with them. I think they're pheasant, but if you have a clue, please share! 

$15 - Gorgeous blue shell with blue goldstone, amethyst, and quartz. This morning I was wondering what to do with the blue shell beads I bought at the last show, since I knew the shell could not stand alone. Bare. Nothing on it. So I put another pattern across the top of the shell to make it more presentable. You'll know what I mean when you start working with flat shells...they're a pain. What do you think? 

$10 - I bought some cute little cheesy-looking findings a couple gem shows ago, but I didn't really know what to do with them. I did make a cute bracelet, but I haven't made anything out of them since. I had a sudden urge to make something this morning...
This fun pair is probably my favorite so far, what do you think?
