Thanks so much, BWeaves, heartofawareness, eolian and SurfnSci!! Heartofawareness, yes, the swinging is fun and nice and light.

Eolian, I am so happy to see you stop by! Thank you, I am super happy with that Akoya piece and it’s right up there as a favorite for me, too. I’m glad you approve! And I always love seeing that LOVE strand! You did such a wonderful job collecting and assembling that strand.

BWeaves, I have a shorter tin cup that is similar to that one and it is so versatile! Looks great on you!

StevieBoy, your new rope looks great on you! You are getting lots of knotting practice in with all those ropes. Pearls don’t need to be expensive to have fun with and be enjoyed!

CatMom, so pretty with your vintage pieces! I especially love that bracelet. Is it a US made piece? Lovely in all your pearls

I’m wearing a coppery, pinky, green, metallic freshwater strand from Kojima/Pacific Pearls, with a keshi chain I made, and a pendant from one of my favorite street artists in San Francisco.

Oh your metallic freshwater strand is fabulous jeg! I just love the colors. My bracelet is a US made piece, probably somewhere between 30 - 35 years old, as is the ruby and pearl ring. The strand is probably 30 years old or so and the earrings are about 25 years old. I only have one piece that's older and that's a station pearl bracelet that is 50 years old.

Timeless pieces, CatMom! I really do like that bracelet! Thanks so much, heartofawareness!!

Mixed SS and Akoya strands. The two matching strands were custom pieces from Kojima. I sent Sarah a couple strands of SS keshi I had purchased in Hong Kong, and she created the two strands incorporating the keshi. All the ends have open clasps so they can be connected in any direction and to any number of things. The other strand is one I put together using more of the SS keshi, and two lengths of harvest bracelets I purchased on a visit to the PP vault. I made the earrings with SS and Akoya.

everything is gorgeous and what a great idea to make the three strands so they can be connected in different ways. Those earrings: GORGEOUS!!

Ripped T shirt and Coral Atoll necklace from Kamoka. 10 mm Tahitian stud earrings from Oceans Cove.

My weaving friends were making fun of me today, because I bought jeans with holes in them. And then I darned the holes. Well, every time I put my hands in the pockets, my fingers went through the holes, and it bugged me. Apparently darning is very "in" right now, so I got out my darning egg and darned them. Oh darn.

Oh the colors, BWeaves! Just gorgeous!

Stormy weather. No daylight. Sharknado weather. Sharky pendant and black and white Tahitian studs from Kamoka. I love the purple halo the black pearl has. Unless I shove Sharky in front of your eyeballs, you can't tell there's a shark on there.

 

[jeg]

Thanks so much, CatMom and heartofawareness! Shark weather for sure, BWeaves. They do love the murky waters. Do you live close to the water? I’ve seen more sharks in Florida than I have in any other place in the world. All your Kamoka were the impetus for me to pull out some pieces, too.

All Kamoka Tahitians. Two strands, a pair of studs and a harvest bracelet.

Gorgeous pieces @jeg

and trailing (not too far behind)...37" rope of 7mm Circle' rainbow overtone tiny tahitians from Kojima. Love these little babies. They are tiny and luster is over the top (not to mention the overtones are super strong) the strand so much fun (and really light). Can wear the rope in so many ways. I got some really cute Cascadia earrings from Kamoka that compliment the rope...and a bracelet from the Midnight Pearl Store in Hawaii....
