That's just how long it will probably take me! Dawn

I had two parts of the shell which had still been attached when I got it, but then came apart, so there were the perfect choice for earrings. I never liked the pair much that I made from it, though, so I finally ripped it up now and turned them into a second challenge piece, also with a backing of Ultrasuede.

Those are beautiful, Cat. Not only are they beachy, they are really elegant and classy. I have a whole bag of shells I picked up off the beach in San Deigo. I find them to be really fun to work with although I haven't had much chance to do anything with them yet. Seeing what you've done makes me really, really want to dive into the bag! Dawn

Thank you, Dawn! I found another bag of shells that I got from my co-worker, smaller ones, even a very tiny one, and different kinds. Now I don't want to churn out a lot of pieces that look similar, but I'll probably use some of them over time if I have more ideas.

Just realised my cuff fits in with the May / June challenge and I'm not too late yet! Hurrah! Hawaii, waves, seat turtle and a (rough) hibiscus flower!

I don’t know how I missed these shell earrings, Cat! Sooooo pretty!
And Sami, your cuff is a perfect for the challenge. I love it.
I ended up going a different direction, but I am pleased. I hope to finish it up tonight or tomorrow night. 😄

Perfect for this month's challenge, Sami! It's gorgeous and I'm so glad you could join us. Looking forward to seeing yours, Michelle. I'm afraid I'm going to be late again (I have not forgotten about the other challenge I missed either). I forgot my traveling jewelry bag at the new house and won't be back there until Wed/Thurs next week. Aghhhh, I'm so discombobulated these days! Dawn

So I had these manufactured sea glass sand dollars. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to see the sand dollar design without the light shining through them. So I decided to add “tentacles” and call them jellyfish. I think I’m channeling Cat! 😄 Since I wear these hoop earrings all of the time, anytime I make earrings for myself, I leave the ear wire off and just hang them on my hoops.

Tentacles, yay!! I very strongly approve!! They are beautiful, Michelle. I love the sea glass cabs and the colors you used. Absolutely something I would wear.

Thanks so much, Cat! I’m a big fan of your tentacled jewelry, so I was glad I had the opportunity to make them myself. 😄

Those are great, Michelle! Perfect for the beach with those summer colors and Cat inspired tentacles! Hanging them off of your hoops is a terrific idea. Dawn
