My new bead embroidered pendant. It didn't start out that way, but then took me down memory lane again (the name is explained on my blog, but of course you can see in this pendant whatever you want).  |

Gorgeous! I can definitely see the crocodile eye; it's actually quite realistic looking. I love it and I love the fringe!  Dawn |

Thank you, Dawn!
It was really nice that I could finally use those Tila beads from one of my surprise orders. Now I just wish I had an idea for the magatamas they have sent me.
I think crocodiles are incredible and it hurts me if someone calls them disgusting or even worse.

Looks too beautiful for a crocodile. Unless he is a nice friendly one in this case |

Thank you, Irith I'm afraid you don't really get nice friendly crocodiles  Actually saltwater crocodiles are extremely dangerous. I wouldn't want to meet one close up in the wild because I'm a wimp, but to me they are fascinating and beautiful, always have been. I feel the same way about sharks. |

Aha! Well, no wonder top fashion designers had used their skins to make expensive elegant hand bags for women and maybe boots too in the past, and nowadays they make artificial copies of them. But I really wouldn't like to meet any of them teeth to teeth. (The match would not be fair...) anyway, your crocodile's eye with the fringes is cute.

It made me laugh thinking of how I'm trying to bite a big crocodile.

Eye of the crocodile. Sounds like a movie, eh. Nice work. Brad

While I enjoy all of your work, Cat, this piece is one of my favorites. It’s a little creepy and a lot beautiful. What a fun combination!

Thank you so much, Michelle. That's putting in words how I feel about crocodiles. It's one of the pieces I would be sad to see go, but somehow I don't think it will soon, so maybe it will go into my own collection after all.

It's not tears OF the crocodile, but FOR. Yes, I cried when I heard that the Great White One had gone.
