Looking Forward to Sand and Surf in the Tropics

Well, my emerald project is going to have to take a brief backseat. I decided to do something different and needed to order a few supplies, so I'm waiting for them to arrive.

However, I was going through my beads the other day with the intent of destashing some items I've had for a while, this coral included. Maybe it's because of the warmer weather, or maybe it's because I'm looking forward to sitting on the beach next month, but whatever it was, I was suddenly motivated to make a pair of summery, sea-inspired earrings.



I've had this coral for so long (someone gave it to me ages ago). I'm so glad I didn't get rid of it now! Suddenly, I have so many ideas for it. There will likely be a bracelet and a necklace or two to follow...
