About this design:
This under the sea design has been in the planning stage for over a year! I collected all the piecy parts last year and they have been laid out on a beading board just about as long! The name comes from my favorite TV show as a young teen! And I've rediscovered reruns on MeTV! Sorry the pics aren't super clear. I left my good Cannon in Florida this spring and I am trying to get the hang of a new camera.
Components:
FW pearls, Mother-of-pearl slices and spears, real shell slices, pewter sea shell charms, metal beads, bronze bead caps, chain and findings.Read the comments (or add your own)
