This piece combines a lot of techniques that I enjoy: simple wire wrapping, bead embroidery, bead weaving, and stringing. As usual, I have no good name for it!


















Outdid yourself this time, Cyndi.. the colors, techniques – perfection is too limited a word.Isn’t that shade of amethyst and green just great, together?
Ohhhhh, thank you so much! I really love these colors together too, and the paua shell has flashes of the purple when you turn it back and forth
I feel like this necklace is calling to me from a faraway, romantic beach; so I would call it “South Seas Siren” I’m in NJ…I would really love to be on a Tahitian beach right now!
That is a *fabulous* name for it, Lisa! Thanks so much…I’m going to use that one
