The Selkie's Garden
Posted by: shooglybeads on Nov 25, 2010
I love making handwired jewellery with a theme. Sometimes I can make two within a couple of days then it's months before another one appears. This one took about a week. Mike's nautilus beads set me off on this one plus looking at photographs of beach pebbles. I popped the nautilus beads on to a saucer and the others were slowly added. Next came the jade beads..then the seaglass and pearls. After wiring and stringing I had an asymetric single strand bracelet but it didn't look quite right. It wasn't until I made up the second strand that the name came. The bracelet became the Selkie's garden full of all the things she'd collect in her human and seal forms: shiny pebbles, seaglass, flowers, beads, pearls, shells and of course a captured human heart or two... I hope whoever ends up owning this one loves it as much as I loved making it......Pat

From the beautiful photo I found your Misi shop and your website too! I love this bracelet. Are you going to be selling this one or similar ones with the shell beads? I enjoyed reading about your location and your jewelry. I just found this site and joined, so I'll be starting a blog too. Maybe about living in Florida, US and creating my mixed media.
Enjoy a beautiful day!
