Something New from Smu

Here are a few photos of some new work I hope to list soon on Etsy. The blue cylindrical stones in the necklace are peruvian opal--the aqua hue combined with inclusions of creamy white remind me of a frothing sea :) The silver seahorse charm set on the wearer's right is accented with one of my own handmade lampwork beads of aqua dots on a black background.
This barette will be the first listing in my brand-new accessories section and is adorned with small seashells from a recent trip to the Outer Banks of NC.

Let me know what you think of my latest creations!

Treasury Love! Winter on the Beach

I was very excited to see my seashell hoop earrings included in this gorgeous beach-themed treasury, titled "Winter on the Beach", curated by mistgrove. Hooray for treasury love!
