Make Mine Lime

Lime green is so popular now, and more to the good for me as is it one of my favorite colors to wear. There's just something bright and refreshing about it that makes me think of happy new leaves, delicious Key Lime Pie, and of course, Lime Sherbet!

The dichroic cabochon was made by GlassLadyLisa; it is a pale gray color with a high reflective layer that almost pulses with green, wild orange, red, and yellow flashes, especially in sunlight. I used size 15, 11, and 8 Czech beads as well as Japanese silver-lined 15s for extra sparkle. Two green-dyed pearly shell beads and 6 dark garnet dyed pearls accent the center cabochon. The clasp is a simple green glass button.

I hope Lime, and it sister colors of Green Apple, Acid Green, and Grass Green hang around for a long time! Completed 7-11 >>MPK

Bracelet - Fresh from the Sea

I rarely do simple stringing anymore but decided not to hold off on making this bracelet. A year or so ago, I purchased these unique shell beads from Meant To Bead. They are dyed, and formed around a solid core through which the hole is drilled. Their color and unique shape caught my eye. By adding the aurora borealis coated green glass beads, there was enough to form this bracelet finished off by one of Jill MacKay's magnetic clasps. Simple, fresh, comfortable to wear.
