Off to the Woods...

My mom's cousin retired to the Sequoia National Forest a few years ago. Her ultimate dream was to open a gift shop there and lucky for her, she was able to do that very thing. When I saw her over Thanksgiving, she asked me if I would be interested in making jewelry for her shop. Yeah...I didn't have to really give that one much thought!! 

So, because her gift shop is in the woods, she wanted me to make some woodsy-type pieces. I was perusing my favorite bead shops and found two very neat looking pedants that I thought would be perfect for her woodsy theme: 

Mr. Owl (isn't he cute? I might have to get another one and make one for myself!!)

Shellacked Wood

Now to come up with some additional woodsy-themed pieces!!
