The North Fork has such beautiful beaches both on the shores of the Sound as well as the Bay. The bay side is where I find oodles of oyster, whelk & scallop shells, but the sound side has the most lovely pebbles. Ranging in sizes from grains of sand, to jelly beans, to nuggets, to new potatoes, to baked potatoes..(uh someone must be hungry)..to gigantic boulders. Anywho..for over a year I have wanted to learn how to bead around a component, but never took the time to learn, especially when I dislike reading instructions. Typically a cabachon gemstone is used as a centerpiece, but that can get expensive, especially when I am trying to teach myself how to construct these types of pendants. So while scouring for driftwood last week (Sound side) I started to look at the plethera of pebbles differently. Long story short, I collected as many perfected round & oval stones to try my hand at this beading technique.SOOOOOOOOOOOOO, a stitch here a stitch there & voila!! I am so excited to be making these. I have so many seed beads and now I have a new outlet for collecting & beading! Yay me...and yay you too since you get to wear them when I finally cord them. Fun Fun Fun!
Life is good. ;)
