Driftwood, Sea Glass and Pearls, Oh My!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today I have been busy trying to combine 3 of my favs:

Driftwood

Sea Glass

and

Pearls.

I finally completed two pieces.

 A necklace with olive green pearls and driftwood.

A broach made with fresh water white pearls, driftwood and
green sea glass.

Have a blessed day!

Wood Burning or Burning Wood

Lately I have been revisiting some crafting 

skills that I was introduced to me 

when I was in 4-H.

Leather burning, crocheting, knitting and wood burning.

I thought I would share my recent wood burning.

I just played around because it has been

so long.

I tried just my name on the first piece.

 I had another piece of driftwood I had picked up from

Santa Cruz and it had some 

burning on it already.

The last piece I made for a friend.

She loved it.

I definitely need more practice but I had fun bringing this back.

Have you tried a new craft any time recently?

Have a great week!

Driftwood Pendants

The beach has always been my happy place.

Since I love to make jewelry,

I thought I would try something different with the driftwood I had found in

Monterey, Ca & Santa Cruz, Ca.

So pendants sounded like the way to go.

I wire wrapped the driftwood and added some 

brown leather cord to make this piece.

 I really am loving the whole look and think I am going to have a full collection

of pieces from the driftwood I have saved over the last year.

Hope y'all are having a great weekend!
