I love the shots of those massive rocks and the sandy pools, but that anemone really fascinates me. One of these days I hope to see these things myself! I love the variety of earrings you made and especially the variety of materials, all of them speaking of the beach! The driftwood, the shells, the colors and textures. Wonderful! Join me on July 3rd for the next inspiration for We're All Ears! Enjoy the day.

I would have guessed you were a regular beachcomber. :) I have you to thank for getting a feel for asymmetry.

When I rinsed it off and it dried, the stain disappeared. Fortunately, no LOS smell lingered. As for sealing, that's a great idea. Seal BEFORE wrapping and oxidizing. Will have to experiment.
