Challenge of Travel Blog Hop

The Island of Samoa

When I think of Samoa, I automatically think of WWE wrestling.. LOL

Seriously.. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Samoa Joe, Umaga

But after reading  a bit, I found that the people are very giving people and love to

use a lot of coral, abalone, tortoise shell and mother of pearl when making just about anything.

Here is what I came up with.

(My photos do not do them justice.. Something I need to work on)

The Link Challenge..... The Reveal

It is finally here.... Reveal day.

I have been ready for weeks && am glad I finally get to show what I came

up with.

To get everyone up to date on what we were to do,

Peggy from The Charm Barn

sent us 20 links.

Some of us got black and some a tortoise color.

I got black.

Here is what I came up with

I first wanted to come up with some type of pendant.  So I wire wrap a piece of sea glass and then used one of the links to be used to attach to either some ribbon or whatever you would chose.

After I made this.

 I wanted to make a bracelet but not have it connect like the links were meant to.So I grabbed some black wire and decided to add the green beads & this is what I came up with.  I made a clasp outta the links and with some wrapped wire.

Here is another shot of the bracelet.

Here is a list of the other blogs who have joined in the fun...

Make sure to go to The Charm Barn to vote for your favs.

(Because my son was attack by a dog, I was late posting this, so my entries will not be

entered...)
