I recently finished this lariat style necklace in which I used four different turtle components making it All About Turtles. The beads used in it are mostly natural and organic - bone, coco nuts, and carved agate with a bit of glass and vulcanite. Brass, copper and silver for interest. The bead I am most excited about is the hand carved peach seed bead - it has two holes and is really a cool bead.
Also, I have officially finished all of my pieces for the Bead Soup Reveal scheduled for July 31. I was waiting on some really tiny Greek leather to make the pieces with the bone beads and howlite skulls Judy sent me. I ended up using only about 10" of it -- oh well, I did use all of the howlite skulls and bone beads she sent leaving very little left over from the "could feed an army" size soup she sent.

Beautiful necklace, Jean. I love turtles!
That's a great necklace, Jean. I love turtles. They are so naturally, creatively beautiful.

Love the turtle theme for a necklace. I like that little brown turtle with the blue dots the best. Adorable!
Now who would have ever thought of carving a peach seed? It makes me wonder about what can be done with an avocado or mango seed.
I have seen seahorse design with beads but purple is unusual for me. But I loved it and would love to try with semi-precious beads and hope to have nice necklace.
