lampbead inspiration

 awhile ago i found some wonderful lampbeads at the john bead outlet

i finally got a chance to use them

 and as always one thing leads to several more!

shells and pearls and beads, oh my!

 reorganizing my jewelry stash to make way for some new supplies

i came across some shells i thought i should finally make something with

after a bit of "play" i came up with several ideas

 and of course ,

one thing always leads to another 

 and another

shell necklace part two

 

since my october post of my shell and pearl necklace

i've worked on a few more versions

i can't decide which one i like best 

 

the shell leaves i found at the john bead outlet

 reminded me of wings

so i expanded on the last few ideas

this one just took on a life of its own

i think it would be great for a champagne color wedding

having fun using up my leftover shells
