Probably for the first time I have tried to combine a blue color scheme with copper-lined seed beads. I felt that choosen materials will allow me to achieve at once the cool touch of the ocean with the warmth of a summer sun!
I have woven a base using netting stitch, and created a lot of leaves of two colors, my favorite components.
The finishing touches were created with freshwater pearls and aquamarine gemstone chips – perfect for a maritime theme.
Mermaid's Garden is 2008 First Place winner of the "Your Designs Rock!" Jewelry Design Contest held by Rings & Things magazine (Glass Category). Here is the full slide show of creating my necklace:
