Sep. 15th, 2005 05:50 amA bracelet, a few pairs of earrings and some necklaces.
Harvest Moon Bracelet - Hand drilled mother of pearl shell with lined gold beads. Stupid as I am, I used my regular drill on the first shell I used. Obviously it broke. So yeah...hand drill. Elastic thread was used so it's nice and stretchy. Excuse the crappy cam pic =)

Pink & Green Coco Necklaces - Coco pokalet and coco heishe with mother of pearl shell pendants.

Turquoise Shell Bits Necklace - One of my "experiments". Two separate drilled shell bits braided together then knotted into place and a few dangly shell tassles.

Rainbow Drops Earrings - This looks better when it's dangling as compared to when it's lying flat on the scanner bed =(

Fang Earrings - For lack of better names. Not actually fangs but the corners of a shell, sanded smooth to make it fang like =)

White Shell Cluster Earrings - These are what we call mongo shells hereabouts. They shells are originally green in color, but they become white when boiled.

Dolphins & Ducks Fetish Bead Earrings - I usually prefer silver colored findings but gold colored ones seem to make these look more vibrant than when I used silver.

Shell Chandelier Earrings - Drilled shell component with wood, seed and glass beads. I'm planning to make dangles out of the glass flower beads I used on these.

And the show and tell ends here =) Hope you liked them!
