mermaid's necklace



this is a page from a wonderful book, Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black - it shows what a mermaid would make to wear (various found objects like sea urchin spines and shells and things floating in the ocean, strung together with pieces of fishing nets)

so i got some hemp twine and wrapped some shells and stones and sea urchin spines and made my version (still might add a shark's tooth or a few more pearls to it)

it's not for everyone, but i do get some nice comments when i wear it...

that's it for now - i'm off to work - enjoy the weekend!!
