Signs of Summer

It's hotttttt here in NC today! Summer has already made it's unofficial apprearance and the hot temps will last well into September or maybe even October. In honor of the upcoming season, I have made a few pieces of shell jewelry and have added them to my shop.

The pieces that I posted yesterday are all made with shells that I found along the beach at Topsail Island a couple weeks ago--and I have a few more pieces to add soon!

Also, I am heading to Wrightsville Beach and possibly Carolina Beach over Memorial Day weekend so I hope to find more shells that can be turned into more little masterpieces :)

I am inspired by these pieces that I found last night as well...

I love the idea of bracelets made with waxed Irish linen like is sometimes used in bookbinding. Maybe if I become more skilled at making jewerly, I will add simular things one day!
