My love affair with neon

I remember back in the 70's all these bright flower stickers that they handed out everywhere and we put all over our cars, lockers, bedroom walls.
Well, the new neon colors in Delica's that I recently picked up at my local bead store ( The Beadles in Broken Arrow, OK ) inspired me to make a cuff that I have had a pattern of for a while now and here is the result:

I just LOVE how it turned out!

The Mermaid's Neclace is finished!

Finally finished the Mermaid's necklace, was a struggle to decide how to hang it, everything I tried looked too static, needed to go more organic. I spent days drilling holes in lots of small sea shells (breaking lots of them) and putting pearls and crystals on head pins, then I strung them all together.

They have lots of movement and I love the way it turned out!

Hope you like it too!
