This is one of the first necklaces I made. I had found a dead turtle on the beach and I took the shell and peeled off the scales. I then made a walnut pendant in the shape of a shield and glued the turtle shell onto it.
The necklace is very bright and cheerful. Lots of colors. I am reminded of the frame of mind I was in when I made this necklace and it reflects in the colors I used.
I'm thinking about the times I have taken a necklace apart because I don't like what I am thinking when I am making it. It doesn't happen often but I feel it is important that my thoughts and prayers are positive and loving. It's a good check point to figure out if anything is bothering me. Does that make any sense?
