To kick off the summer, I joined in the Ocean Blog Hop. Lisa Lodge of A Grateful Artist is our wonderful Hostess! Thank you Lisa for hosting!
Here's the beads I received.
I've seen so many beautiful beaded items lately that other creative artists have done, I was inspired.

Wow, Karla, this is an amazing and dramatic piece :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job sewing your islands together. You sure have a wide variety of beading talents.
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant and vibrant color combination! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing creation!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Karla! My mouth just dropped open when I saw your gorgeous necklace. I do not have any idea how you did it - it looks like a great deal of work. So pretty, so "Oceany", and so awesome. Thanks for being in the hop!
ReplyDeleteWow, your necklace is amazing, I love it!
ReplyDeleteBig wow! That's on beyond jewelry. It's art and I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great necklace! It reminds me of the tidepools you come across walking down the beach.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful necklace. I love the idea of islands. Really beautiful, impressive work.
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing bead work!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome necklace! I know all the work that went into that piece and it is fantastic. I could never have done all that work with all those little beads. Great job.
ReplyDeletewow what a lot of work, amazing piece so beachy
ReplyDeleteWow! love the colors...must have taken a while to do, I'll bet! ...all that fine needle work...my eyes aren't good enough to be able to do that...wish I could! :) lovely composition...design is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Piece, thank you for Sharing
ReplyDeleteBlue and yellow have always been one of my favorite color combinations! The blue of the ocean and the yellow sparkling sun really bring the waves of the design to life. I like to wear a white sundress and adorn it with your beautiful necklace just to dance the night away!
ReplyDeleteI love that you thought of the different sections of your piece as "islands" . . . you really embraced the concept of the challenge and delivered it in an honest and artistic way. Standing ovation!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, a very intense piece!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous piece! Can totally see the ocean's influence.
ReplyDeleteI love that you shared your work in progress. This is to die for necklace art.
