Thank you Helen.

I agree Melanie this was obviously a very inspiring topic as there are some great pieces.

Beautiful entries so far Shocked

- especially the 'spiky' ones.

This is my first entry ever! I love shell - it's really summery....

Here it is - a memory wire choker and bracelet cuff with AB shell discs, shell chips, heishi hammershell and a 'pink mix' of seedbeads inspired by Nemeton's gorgeous rose garden projects.

such gorgeousness here, here's mine for this one, a largeish paua cab, which seemed to just want simple beading, so just a spiral rope with toggle fastening.

I absolutely adore Paua shell. You have made a beautiful shell into a beautiful necklace. Well done love.

Took a day off today and beaded in the sunshine - something that would be suitable for a Mediterranean beach wedding, I think!

(A couple of people might recognize their seasidey swaps and leftovers Wink

WOW!! Everything posted so far is fabulous Very Happy

. I can't wait to get into the April/May challenge.

Can someone explain the voting please? Can you only vote once you've been here long enough to be able to go into the challenge as well? In otherwords, I wouldn't be able to vote this time but I will next time? Then how exactly do I register my vote? (Probably should read the rules & regs again but it's almost midnight here and I'm being lazy.)

Thanks - and once again - wonderful work everyone Thumbs up

Kitsch Kitty will post a separate thread when she's ready to collect votes, and you simply email her with the name of your chosen winner ... I think!

I think I have posted my entry in the wrong section.
I hope I am not too late and this fits the brief...

Mermaid Pendant

Fimo mermaid, Swarovski crystals, seed beads and faux pearls.

I can always add a shell instead of the heart to qualify....... Embarassed
