Starfish Pendants

I've always had a soft spot for inspirational items and actually started out making stretchy bracelets with inspirational sayings.  As my skills improved, I got more into bead weaving, then wire working, then beaded macrame, natural components in irregular shapes, and fusing.

A few months back, my house was broken into and my camera was stolen, along with two laptop computers and all of my fine jewelry.  It kind of knocked the wind out of me.  I tried to forge ahead with some of the more labor intensive ideas I'd intended to execute this summer, but just couldn't finish anything.  And so I decided to go back to basics for a while... and using some of the tiniest starfish out of my personal collection, made a batch of poured resin pendants using various materials.


The insurance company finally replaced my stolen camera and my husband replaced my stolen laptop as a birthday present.  And now I can finally share some of the things I've been making.
