You know I love all things pertaining to the sea. So, when I saw these darling little green sea urchins, I had to have them. I had no idea what I would even do with them, so they have been hanging out on my shell shelf since I went to the shell shop with Momma P back in late July/early August.
I knew they were going to be too fragile to use as is. I thought about this for a while, and decided to fill them to make them solid. After I made those last two seashell and flower headbands, I knew what I wanted to do with some of them.
I now have a pretty new headband to put in my shop!
The little urchins are still very lightweight, but far less breakable than they were.
The cream and white flowers accent the urchins beautifully!
I'm not much of a headband gal, but I would wear this one, too!
It is perfect for a beach wedding, though. Bridesmaids would look lovely, and flower girls would be so darling in this. I don't think I would wait for a wedding to wear this! I'd wear it anytime!
I have a few more of these cute little urchins, and will probably make another headband, and I don't know what else yet. Right now I have too many ideas, and too many things to play with....but I'm not complaining!
I have a couple of custom orders I'm excited to get started on, I'm just waiting for the rest of my supplies. I also just finished a couple! I can show you one of them. The other is a gift for someone, and the gift giver should have a chance at posting about it first, I think :)
These earrings were made to my customers specifications! Those blue green pearls really pop with the shells! She got the idea from another pair I posted a few weeks ago. You know my pics don't do them justice, and I'm really kicking myself for not taking more pics.
The only pics I took were on the whale tail :(
In my haste to get them listed, I failed miserably in the photo taking department.
These three pics are the only ones I have of these earrings. Shame on me!
I do love the soft pink in these shells, and the crystals match perfectly. That little pop of sea colored pearls is mesmerizing, and gives these earrings a nice beachy vibe!
You may have noticed I haven't listed much of anything new in my shop. Between my custom orders, selling other things, and getting ready for the craft shows (and doing some serious playing! see my last post!) I just haven't made the time. But I have really enjoyed the time off from being a photographer lol. You know that is so not my favorite part of this. I really do need to get on the ball and show you some of the neat necklaces I've been making....and my new ideas and plans for the next show!
But...today I am taking a couple of hours to take a wire wrapping class! If I do a good job, you will see the results, if I don't...you will never hear about it again. LOL!
I'll see ya tomorrow!
Always have a beachy kind of day :)

Gorgeous as always! A wire wrapping class? Have fun and can't wait to see what you learn! Maybe you'll do a tutorial?
Ok, now I know what class you were talking about! LOL. The headband is stunning. Really nice!
WOW! How GORGEOUS! I guess you wouldn't be surprised to hear that I bought some of the green urchins when I went to the shell shop. They are exquisite...and you found the perfect way to show them off! I love these precious earrings, too. They look so delicate and pretty! You are always so busy! You amaze me! Hugs!
Yet another example of your super creativity. OH...one of these days I'm gonna send you shopping for me! The shells shops up here have boring stuff by comparison!
Beautiful headband and earrings! I know what you mean about the photography. I don't have to do it with the graphics, but I do with the patterns. It's what I dread most.
I wish I could just create and someone else could do all my listing and photographing.
