Your work is stunning. I had no idea how to sting this type of bead and your colors are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Totally awesome! My jewelry theme is Summer. So, I'm doing cowrie shell necklaces, bracelets, anklets and earrings. Shell cabochon necklaces and earrings. Anything I can do with seed beads. Maybe a multi strand seed bead choker. And stone cabochon necklaces. You have a great idea, I hope you don't mind me copying yours. I have found that if you have a theme with so many people selling jewelry, that my booth will stand out from everyone elses.

Thank you, Sandy! Can I encourage you not to copy anyones work? Instead, take it as inspiration and use it to fuel your own artistic aesthetic.

@@maureenbradleydesignsllc Of course, I wouldn't copy but I have a lot of similar pieces but not exact.

Did you paint the beads, or did they come that way.?

I found these cowrie shells on Amazon. Do a search for "printed cowrie shells", and they should come up.
