Homemade "seaglass" shard in teal blue with a cluster of semiprecious stones, sterling wire.
We find vintage glass bottles and SMASH them to bits, and then run them through our tumbler at home. This lets me have a little more creative control over colors and textures and patterns than just the stuff one might pick up at the beach : )

Each bead begins with a sheet of gorgeous hand-painted paper, a work of art unto itself. The paper is then cut into long tapering strips and hand rolled into beads, and then varnished with a clear resin to protect the bead from moisture. Iridescent glazes, metal leaf, organza ribbon, and fine glitter are also added to the design, making each bead a unique work of art. The colors are rich and variegated, and because they are handmade from unique papers, no two beads are ever alike!

When you're looking out an airplane window down at the ocean far below, the water seems to take on a hundred hues of peerless turquoise, pale blue-green, and indigo. I wonder what lives in those depths?
Mermaids, maybe?
Channel your inner sea nymph with this deep-sea bauble. Cool jewel tone furnace glass beads are accompanied by swarovski crystals and silver bali-style spacers. This little treasure measures 7" in length, and is finished with a simple sterling toggle clasp.

Set to go to an unknown partner in this swap (partners haven't been assigned yet). I started out with an idea of doing a 6 drawer, and this was the end result. Drawers are filled with beads & chipboards of each drawers color.
What do you think? I have the swap running in my "Top Rated Matchbox Alterers" Group at Swap-Bot.com Join Us if you're up for the challenge. Or Create your own challenge swap. All members with 10 swaps in the past 3 months will automatically receive the honor of Officership.

I thought this gypsy was very pretty and couldn't wait to use her! I added a key round her neck and I just love the background which I bought from Etsy.

Waterfall that i came across while geocaching in Elderslie.
Sad to see "JOCO" made it before me!!
Taken with my camera.

Waterfall (!) encountered while out geocaching in Elderslie at the weekend.
What I love about this is despite the quite pictuesque scene, someone has still managed to ruin it by adding their grafiti tag to the rock.
Photo taken with my mobile phone.

It was built in 1912 in honour of the Scottish hero William Wallace, who was born here in Elderslie.

I received her in a swap on swap-bot. The Group- Open Theme.

Cute lady bug fabric with green faces. I tried to make the face of the Dotee like the fabric image. Too hard to do that.

She's up for grabs for a swap. I used fringe for her hair. It's got more details in person.
