    How beautiful is that? (the answer is: VERY beautiful). Is it a necklace charm? How do you work with something so tiny?

    The trick is to link the turquoise all together so you have something to grasp onto and then start weaving the wire from there!

    OMG, I love it!

    If I ever find the time to pull out my beads again, I might have to copy you. Would you mind? (it would be for me...not for sale or anything) That's really creative!

    This is better than wonderful!

    You could market them! An artist here paints birdsnests and puts the number of eggs in to match the # of children in the family.

    So many possibilities, continue to use turquoise, or could do colors to match birthstones for each child - a mother's nest instead of a mothers ring! I would wear it! (I never wear rings)


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

    I have a shop on Etsy (http://samandrea.etsy.com) and I put this on there. This was just a burst of creativity last night, but you are right-SO MANY POSSIBILITIES! I could do customs orders too!
