Joyce M says:Turquoise Geometry?? First thing I noticed was all the different shapes. Like the touch of asymmetry!

MoonBell says:Maybe it’s because the hexagonal beads look like oyster crackers to me, but I can’t help but think of the ocean when I see this. Maybe something to do with water/oceans?

Chicky Bear-Tara says:This is beautiful. The white stones look like they may be white agate. Are they opaque or kind of see through like shell? It makes me think of the ocean as well. I think it looks like a mermaid crown.
