Beginning to see a pattern here? Once again, my love for the ocean comes through in this simple necklace of mottled ceramic beads. The green melons are vintage, while the others were lovingly selected while Sydde stood patiently by at the String Bead in Wausau, Wisconsin. The tide must have come and in gone out again in the time it took me to pick them out. But he's had a lot of practice at patience with me.
