This is a brangle I made using Connie's basic brangle instructions
from
one of my first beading magazine. I was mostly using beads and
shells
for bracelets and necklaces before attempting wire work. I live
on a
barrier island in Southern New Jersey and pick up all my shells
as I
walk the beach, usually with my 2 dogs. My husband and I tumble
and
polish them and then I incorporate them into a piece to jewelry.
I have
taken 2 of Connie's classes in Philadelphia over the last 3 years.
Working with wire has added a new dimension to presenting the
shells.
This piece also contains Karen Hill Tribe silver beads, a trade
bead,
a jade Buddha face and a pewter sea horse charm. I sell my jewelry
at
a local shop owned by a friend. People seem to enjoy having a
piece
of their beach vacation to take home with them. Email
