fantasy art and tree chatter of aquariann

I've been desiring a starfish necklace to add to my star-shaped jewelry collection ever since I went searching the sandy shores of Etsy last June. Patsy of Ox Original Art Jewelry channeled my brain wave and sailed this pretty pink enamel starfish necklace to my mailbox. It is too bad the ocean is so chilly during autumn, because I felt like diving for joy when I opened her carefully wrapped box. I am giddy as a guppy to own a pendant that was painted by fire! I knew very little about enameling, until I read Patsy's article about the art of Enamel . The process is fascinating! Patsy has a similar starfish necklace in her shop, as well as dozens of gorgeous creations if you want to own a unique enamel piece, too.

Can you believe the jeweled starfish clinging to my new MiddleEarths PreciousTrinkets pin is the only sea star in my vast collection of star-shaped jewelry? Today I strolled down a sandy stretch of Etsy in search of more underwater treasures that had washed ashore. I found these gorgeous starfish necklaces gleaming with pearls, glass and Swarovski crystals nestled on the beach, just outside the ocean tide's reach. 1.
