STRUTTING THEIR STUFF.....


MaryAnn Carroll

As I just took a peek to see who was strutting down Flickr Avenue, I came across these lovelies.....

Look at all of the very cool ceramic beads on this beauty....  


Just a Country Girl at Heart by Lesley Watt

The inspiration for this necklace came from the beads themselves. The lovely green/brown/buff textured beads made me think of the patchwork of fields you seen in spring when the new crops are just beginning to poke through. Add a little rustic house, a leaf, a bird and some flowers and you have yourself a lovely peaceful pastoral scene...I want to live here! Ceramic house by Eluka, green porcelain beads by Diana Ptaszynski - Suburban Girl, yellow porcelain bird by LeAnn Weih - Summers Studio etc, Ceramic leaf charm by Karen Totten - Starry Road Studio, Bronze pieces by moi - THEAtoo...all on Etsy.  More work by Leslie can be found by clicking here.
