I've continued to ponder the 'tropical holiday' theme, and I know where I'm heading now. In my last post, I spoke of spending time at the coast every year. During those holidays, we explored the reef whenever the low tide was at the right time. Some of my favorite memories involve snorkeling in pools around brain corals. The big ol' blobs hosted the most abundant and fantastic array of fish. Most days, we would be fortunate enough to see at least one scorpion fish. When we saw these, we would always back up slowly and admire these very poisonous and fantastic fish. The bold stripes and the long, ribbon-like fins always inspired awe and respect.
I want to make a necklace inspired by these fantastic fish. I just picked up some colored polymer clay to play with, so I think I'll use a mix of hand made beads (woohoo!) and strips of peyote to imitate the fins. Of course, by the time it's done it will have evolved somewhat from this original brainstorming!
I'm excited. :D

Ginny, that sounds cool. Can't wait to see it.
Can't wait to see what you come up with, especially with the handmade beads. I'm just starting to work with polymer.
What a great idea. Can't wait to see your handmade beads.
