After I finished the bangle, I couldn't wait to make the necklace. It just felt right to make a necklace to match the bangle. I needed about 8 hours to do these because the centre bead was made with sea shell pendant I made before.

Last Saturday a friend of mine saw the finished necklace and she exclaimed : "This is definitely a TO DIE FOR necklace...."

Here, let me show you....and I want you to tell me your honest opinion...

Sea Shell Bangle

This past week I got a creative block...I didn't feel like doing anything with wire.So, what did I do ? I went to book shop browsing in the hobby section, and I was lucky to find "The Crystal Bible" by Judy Hall. Then I got a chance to meet my friend Heri and she taught me how to make pipa. Still it didn't make my creative juices flowing... and I was getting desperate. My friend Heri, Rina and Annie already made several beautiful things and it made me more desperate. Yesterday, after browsing Eni Oken's Jewelry I stumbled upon the memory treasures bracelet. I suddenly felt like making those bracelet with my sea shell beads. I spent about 10 hours and more than 14 metres of wires.I hope this will keep my creative juices flowing....
