The unique shape of separate rectangles of resin for together to create and upside-down triangle that fits perfectly around the neck. It’s lightweight and great to layer with other pieces.

She enjoys laying everything out on the bed weeks before a vacay and pairing each outfit with the perfect shoes, undergarments, shade of lipstick, jewelry and clutch. I’m lucky if I can remember shoes.  I found this great packing chart that I think that I will use to be my guide.

Can’t you just imagine wearing this necklace while driving along the Californian Coast…windows down, breeze in the air, the smell of saltwater and open air? All the colors of happiness are matched together in this new little number.

This long necklace mixes sunshine yellow and turquoise. It reminds me of a bright day at the beach with the sun high in the sky and sparkling down on the waters. Gorgeous with any color and a great addition to the jewelry collection.

I woke up at an ungodly hour this morning and had a craving to have a “create as you wish” kind of day. These days are my favorite and they are few and far between this month with traveling for shows and filling orders. “Create as you wish” kind of days are essential however, because it’s during those days that I come up with new designs, explore color relationships, take risks, sketch, and put together shapes and stones that might (or might not) work. The nice part about these days is that there is no pressure to make a piece perfectly…if new designs evolve…they evolve and if they don’t…well, at least I kept my creative juices flowing by trying.

It all starts with a cup of coffee and a vision. Early this morning (and yes, ummm, we’re talking around 4:15ish) I tried to get the mandatory “bookkeeping” out of the way, so the rest of the day would be mine to design. I took a quick peep at pinterest and one pin led me to the wonderfully fantastic blog, The Southern Eclectic. As I was reading the blog, I stumbled upon a post on how to make this necklace. So…I headed straight to my studio to get to work.  Of course, as soon as the sun came up, I had to call on sweet Sukie to model the creation.
