Sea and Sand Reveal Gets Us Thinking Summer!

Ingredients for Sea and Sand Blog

Welcome to Lisa Lodge's Sand and Sea Blog Hop!  Each participant received either a "sand" kit of tans, creams, orange, and brown tones or a "sea" kit of blues, greens, and purple tones,  Lisa sent me some beautiful ingredients in the "sea" tones.  I love the blue green sari ribbon as well as the other beads.  I used most of them in creating 2 necklaces as well as a few pieces of my own sea glass.  I have a nice stash of sea glass from the Isla de Mujeres, Mexico.  I spent a Christmas vacation there a few years back and everyday I devoted some time to picking up the sea glass, rinsing the sand off of it and drying it for the flight home. Wire wrapping this glass brought back fond memories of this beautiful little island.
