I actually ordered real sea urchins from Florida to make copies of them. They are not easy to come by in Norway.
I love making them. And I like the fact that you can wear something that would be too fragile if they were real. Tina Holden has a tutorial on how you can make these. I make them in a little other way than she does but the result is the same.
One of the best things I know is to walk along a seashore looking for small treasures. And when I find something special it feels like I have found gold.And that´s the thing: There are always small treasures everywhere. Especially in people.
If we use as much time to find the nice things as we do finding the negative ones, we´ll always find something good.
Let´s go looking for the good things!! Write a comment and let everyone know what you´ve found.
I love these Lone. They are really beautiful.
